One CA just got 3d at the People’s Choice Awards for best Gov Podcast.

Congratulations to the team for their hard work finding and interviewing people who give insight into working overseas with a partner nation’s people on foreign policy issues.

Our goal is to provide an insider view of current events that, I hope, inspire generations to join the effort, travel the world and help build the international community through person-to-person contacts.

Valuable Resource For The CA Community

I’m an officer in the reserve CA pipeline. This podcast has been a great introduction to the CA community for me. I recommend it to every CA soldier.

CheeryPolitico ,

Fantastic Podcast-even if you aren’t CA

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts to dive a bit deeper behind the headlines with a specific CA perspective. The host foes a great job engaging with guests and creating fascinating dialogue. Additionally, the audio is great and easy to listen to.
