Decision Points - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Just discovered this podcast. I have learned so much about the current conflict from listening. Extremely knowledgeable experts with important contacts to the players. Skilled moderator who asks insightful questions that help the listener understand on a deep level what’s going on in Israel following October 7. I wish all media could rise to the level of respectful and intelligent dialogue on display here. Thank you David and team.

David is a phenomenal speaker and communicates very complex issues in ways that are easy to comprehend. He is upfront about his own preferences and leanings, while also presenting facts-based, straightforward information. Highly recommended!

David Makovsky hosts this podcast where he asks probing questions of his guests. Each episode is a deep dive onto a thorny and complicated issue. The guests are researchers, authors, journalists who have a thoughtful viewpoint on the topic, which Makovsky draws and explores with his questions. At the end of each podcast he doesn’t leave the listener with a just a ‘thank you for listening’ but provides a synthesis and summary of some of the key points he and his guests have raised. Fantastic

Great guests and moderator that allows one to understand what is going on in the Middle East, which other news sources don’t help clarify. My go-to for that region.
