  • The Limits of Monitoring the Situation w/ Tyler McBrien

    The Limits of Monitoring the Situation w/ Tyler McBrien
    Apr 15 2026
    War in the Middle East keeps expanding, oil prices are rising, and an unpredictable American president has everyone trying to guess his next move. As trust in media institutions hits an all-time low and disinformation spreads online, how can we begin to make sense of things? The proliferation of open-source intelligence, or OSINT, offers one answer. While it's possible to glean certain insights from these sources, they can also mislead people to wrong conclusions or game booming prediction markets. In this episode, the Institute for Global Affairs' Jonathan Guyer is joined by friend of the pod Tyler McBrien, managing editor at Lawfare. Tyler recently wrote a piece on the perils of obsessively "monitoring the situation" for The Baffler. He and Jonathan discuss Trump's wars, why prediction markets and geopolitics shouldn't mix, and more.

    The Economic War on Cuba w/ Ed Augustin
    Apr 1 2026
    After Venezuela and Iran, many are asking if Cuba is next. The island is enduring energy blackouts, food and medicine shortages, and halting public services. But while the most vulnerable Cubans are hit hardest, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's apparent dream of toppling the regime does not appear close to fruition. In this episode, the Institute for Global Affairs' Jonathan Guyer is joined by Ed Augustin, an independent journalist based in Havana, to discuss the situation on the ground. Ed updates us on the unfolding humanitarian crisis, Trump's 180-degree turn on Cuba policy, why the Cuban government is not backing down, and much more. They also touch on how Cuba fits into Trump's broader Western Hemisphere policy.

  • How Democrats Can Reimagine Foreign Policy w/ Matt Duss

    How Democrats Can Reimagine Foreign Policy w/ Matt Duss
    Mar 18 2026

    Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave her first major foreign policy remarks at this year's Munich Security Conference to lay out her vision of progressive foreign policy. Many are speculating that she is preparing for a presidential run in 2028. She has called for a reckoning with the United States' history of intervention and repression abroad and attempted to offer an alternative to Trump's "might makes right" approach.

    In this episode, the Institute for Global Affairs' Jonathan Guyer is joined by Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy and former adviser to Senator Bernie Sanders, to discuss foreign policy on the left. Matt gives Jonathan his perspective on AOC in Munich, where the Democrats have gone wrong on foreign policy, and how they ought to respond to the Iran war.
