Thorough , timely, factual, to the point.

Derek pronounces Middle Eastern names impressively well. Worth a listen for a million reasons, but this is one of them!

Derek and the whole FE crew are so knowledgeable and offer such an interesting insight into the world

The episode with Elizabeth Beavers was fantastic. I hope you’ll consider having her back again on other topics as well because she was able to give history, context, and really make it digestible and interesting.

Another silly democrat podcast that tries to whitewash dems like Blinken , Sullivan and pretend they want peace. When in reality they want to dominate just like Trump and Pompey except they are not uncouth.

The best. I listen to like 5 foreign policy podcasts. There is no comparison. Derek gets excellent guests. He himself is smart and pragmatic but also not towing the American foreign policy line
