Danny and Derek give an update on Afghanistan, discuss Based Biden’s rejection of European complaining, do a reading series on Obamanaut Ben Rhodes’ recent article in Foreign Affairs, and address the appointment of Nicholas Burns and Rahm Emanuel as ambassadors to China and Japan, respectively. They then talk to Emily Atkin, who founded the essential newsletter Heated, about climate change (it’s real bad, folks) and what we need to do to make sure humanity makes it past the year 2100.

Thank you to Courtney Rawlings and Don Hughes for their help with the LeMay University ad.

I’ve been enjoying this podcast from Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison. There’s not a lot else on the left that discusses foreign policy consistently and in the terms its really thought of by major actors. Haven’t listened to this one yet. They usually drop Fridays.
