Definitely worth a listen. Unlike so much DC-based content, these conversations go beyond talking points into real ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

Good, thoughtful conversations about topics I’m curious about, but can’t easily find out about. Like the the first episode with John Sipher who ran CIA operations in Russia. This kind of conversation between two pros isn’t readily available anywhere else.

If you are looking for a nuanced conversation about the world of intelligence, this is your podcast. When pundits often seek emotional engagement from their audience Mr Brown brings a measured and calm demeanor. Excited to hear what’s next.

Excellent and nuanced insider conversation covering the culture of the intelligence community—and its many enigmas and day-to-day realities—by primary actors. #notthedeepstate

This is the discussion that should be happening in our country. Relevant, thought provoking, and important dialogue.

I enjoyed the first episode and will continue to subscribe. I often look at news as “missing the nuance” so it’s great to hear such a deep conversation that pays attention to the detail and nuance. A+

This insightful - and delightful - modern cowboy serves up a safe space for healthy exploration of the bureaucracy around intelligence. U/S offers a platform for both the engaged IC citizen and the suspicious deep state dweller, to hear directly from those who’ve been there and been frustrated....Read full review »

A expert host who is intriguing to listen to with thought provoking guests. He lifts the veil on The CIA.

It’s refreshing that a (former) US national security official is lending their voice to discuss some of the most important issues of the day. This podcast is thoughtful and timely, it’s radical moderatism is particularly refreshing. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

If the rest of the episodes are like the first, I’m all in! This was so thought-provoking, entertaining, sometimes frightening, and definitely enlightening.
