You cannot claim that this is an “in depth” discussion when you give your guests so little time to speak.

On each episode Mike McFaul leads a vibrant discussion with other Stanford scholars on issues that may affect and shake the world

I just discovered this, so pleased. Love Professor McFaul's soothing and intelligent voice -- you're a wonderful interviewer. So smart, low-key, and you stay out of the way and let your subjects talk, while nonetheless very deftly guiding them to fill in context and explain references not everyone might be familiar with. Great guests. Learning a lot. Well done.

Great content that’s concise and relevant. My only suggestion is that Dr. McFaul speak up and/or get his own microphone, as he’s barely audible. Thanks for a great program.

This is my new go to podcast for current and foreign affairs. I love it.

Very intelligent podcasts. No fluff.
