This episode is really special. As our real world faces conflict with Russia and in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, we were incredibly lucky to welcome back former Deputy National Security Advisor and co-host of Pod Save the World, Ben Rhodes. We go deep into these threats, and then we find solace in fiction as we cover Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery as adversaries trying to find common ground, in The Hunt for Red October.
