The IR in Layman’s Terms podcast simplifies complex topics such as international relations, diplomacy, foreign policy, state relations, state security, and strategic studies. These issues, often called "high politics," can be difficult to understand, but our goal is to make them more accessible and interesting to anyone with an interest in global affairs. As Jim Callaghan said, "Foreign policy is not an idol to be hidden in the temple untouched by profane hands.", we at The IR in Layman’s Terms, break down complex concepts into plain language so you can stay informed on global affairs.
