Hey all I've been doing the podcast thing for about a year now, and would love to hear feedback (good and bad) from anyone who has watched. What works? What doesn't? What type of guests should I have on? All suggestions welcome. Just trying to keep getting better at this thing. - Rory

I wrote up some thoughts on what we lived through the last 12 months. I will forever remember 2025 as the year Americans got a small taste of what it's like to live under authoritarian government.

Hey all I just posted a new interview on the ongoing crisis in Venezuela. We talk about the possibility of war and regime change, and what is really motivating the Trump Administration to act. My guest Michael Albertus is a leading expert on Latin America. It's a great primer for anyone who wants to get smart on the issue. Hope it's useful! - Rory
