Informative and enjoyable
I’m really glad to have found this podcast! It is a quality production, and surprisingly manages to remain impartial despite the polarising topics discussed. I will be sure recommend this podcast to my friends, so don’t hesitate to give it a listen and share it with your friends & family.

No Longer What It Was
CSIS used to be an intellectual podcast with scholarly guests and top bar analysis. Now it’s just another talking head show with politically biased noise. If I want to see a TV news anchor complain about his rival, you don’t need CSIS.
