NatSec Matters - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is a fabulous podcast for anyone interested in foreign affairs, global politics, diplomacy and who appreciates the engaging and insightful way Michael Morrel leads the conversations. So much to learn from. Hands down my favorite podcast.

This podcast has quickly become a weekly listen for me. Thank you for sharing consistently high-quality, thought-provoking and informative discussions.

One recommendation: I think it is incumbent on this podcast’s producers to invite another AI expert to the podcast, specifically someone who supports more guardrails on AI. I disagreed with many of Marc Andreessen’s positions on AI, but I really enjoyed the episode with him and I found listening to that discussion particularly valuable in helping shape my understanding of AI and AI governance. I have been recommending that episode to others alongside other podcasts and articles with a more skeptical stance toward AI. I would love to see Intelligence Matters also offer another perspective on AI in these still early but already loud days of the AI governance debate while people are still formulating their initial opinions.

This is must-listen content for helping to understand the state of today’s world. The guests are great and the shows are well edited.

I try to consistently listen to every episode.

It’s simply a must listen.

I’m thrilled this podcast is back. Michael did a terrific job before and from what I’ve heard so far, Andy also does great work. In a world of screaming analysts, their straightforward nature combined with deep experience and interest in the subject matter is very refreshing.

The Middle East is such a confusing place with so many different groups, I would love a “Middle East for dummies” podcast to try to explain all the groups involved, etc. I would also appreciate if you would included links for additional information related to each topic for people who wanted to dive deeper.

Thanks and keep up this monumentally important work.
