Qualified analysis, fun format
I found this podcast through Ward Carroll on YouTube (tell Ward to publish his audio as a podcast!). This podcast is the most approachable way to keep up with US defense trends and learn a little recent history. It is also a great way to keep up with general technology trends with more substantial analysis. Most tech podcasts are superficial and newsy. Here we have co-hosts and guests who take turns dissecting defense and tech stories from specific angles like resourcing/deployment, leadership and other political context, and geographic reality. It makes a big difference hearing things from people who were there, and as a regular taxpayer without any military background, I appreciate the care taken to explain the jargon, equipment, and methods – all in an accurate but friendly, no-stress way. This podcast is hopefully the start of a broader trend, of knowledgeable people speaking calmly about technology with an eye to impact around the world, rather than fear and hype.

The Merge is a spectacular download of intel and information on all things military. Easy listen, straightforward explanations, and no irrelevant chatter. Thanks for the excellent work and keep it up! The Merge Newsletter is just as good!
