Customer Reviews
Love it
I wish everyone would listen to this series. So useful in developing one’s perspective.
Unique and Valuable
My all-time favorite show. The quality of Dr. Green’s information, analysis, guests, and presentation are as impressive as they are enjoyable. I really get a lot out of this podcast and it was my gateway to other CSIS podcasts. Dr. Green is what makes this podcast work and he’s always a powerful contributor whenever he’s on other CSIS shows.
Fascinating-One of the top foreign policy podcasts.
Michael Green offers a great perspective, using his long memory to explain current situations and behavior patterns of certain nations.
Highly recommend.
