“CFR represents the Davos elites leftist agenda. The American Foriegn Policy Council represents the honest American interest. I have been going through the last couple of years podcasts and they have proven far more accurate in their predictions than has CFR.”

“I love this podcast and one I look forward to listening to every week. The only thing I wish for is to make the episodes longer than 30 minutes because there is a lot of interesting information to discuss with the excellent guests the show brings on!”

“I wanted to comment on how much I enjoy the podcast after discovering it on the CFR.org site. Some of the episodes helped me find ideas for papers I wrote in my International Security Studies master’s program at Arizona. As for a future topic for discussion for the show I would like to hear some...”Read full review »

But please please please, stop playing that outro music while the conversation is still going on. It’s distracting and detracts from the final words of both the guest and interviewer.

“The episode on Friday about Ukraine with Charles A. Kupchin was awful. Charles shared some of the weakest, mealy-mouthed answers and opinions that I couldn’t Believe it. I really like the host Jim but was super disappointed in the lack of pushback on almost everything.”
