Customer Reviews
Good breakdown on complicated topic
This was a lively debate on the Iran deal, a subject that I know almost nothing about. It was nice to hear people cut through the fluff and get to the meat of the issue.
Analyst
Great, candid, informed discussion of critical issues of the day. Very glad I subscribed.
Promising Podcast
I am a subscriber to FP, and I am really looking forward to listening to more of these podcasts. I was struggling with finding a solid podcast that focuses on foreign policy, and I believe this podcast can fill that void. I hope you can find the time to make one at lest once a week.
