Interesting when the hosts have something specific to say
I usually enjoy this podcast but the most recent episode (NDS) felt like slow drip, cable news torture. Zack loathes capitalization of common nouns, and Melanie wants detailed classified information in an unclassified, high-level strategy document (while also admitting she knows better). We got the point within the first 15 minutes—the hosts hate “integrated deterrence.” But what would they propose as serious alternatives? Integrated offense against the PRC? Flex hard power and hope all the soft power stuff sorts itself out? Preble tried to offer some constructive criticism by acknowledging the problems/challenges inherent in crafting the NDS, but the rest of the dialogue felt like Melanie and Zach were grasping for hot takes on a tired subject that security professionals all recognize to be a useless paper drill…I’d grade this episode C-, knowing the hosts are capable of producing A/A- commentary when they tackle complex topics and actionable policy options.

With their timely analysis of world events, I come away from each show with more questions to ask than before I listened. My only regret is not...Read full review »
