The Reason We’re All Still Here - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve really enjoyed this show! The host, Jeffrey Lewis, is insightful and funny. He’s able to communicate complicated diplomatic conundrums through entertaining and compelling stories. Highly recommend!

Lewis explains abstruse, important concepts in clear easy to understand language. These are quite complex ideas but he uses humor and great production values to make sure we all get it. He’s a national treasure!

Especially after listening to the whole series, the final episode is particularly sobering. A great reminder of why we’re in this field: what the stakes are, why it matters, and the kind of work we’re trying to create.

I’ve been listening to the Arms Control Wonk podcast for a while now, so I was excited to listen to this miniseries. It did not disappoint, and I am grateful for the excellent depictions of the politicking and power plays.

I’m writing this the day after someone has assassinated yet another Iranian nuclear scientist, this time Mr Mohsen Fakhrizade.

This series is making connections for me that, now upon hearing news of that assassination, cause me to feel distress.

Excellent series 5/5
