Re the deep dive on Ukraine Bulwark Live Thursday, I tuned in late because I was late home from work, but didn't stay for two reasons. 1. Because, as you said, I'm not that interested in foreign policy discussions. I am interested in the war the Ukrainians are fighting agaist the Russians and I'm interested in the threat China is to the US. But not deeply. I'm deeply interested in our federal government and the health of our nation.
Still, I appreciate that The Bulwark has three subject matter experts in-house. What would be valuable to me as a subscriber not really interested in foreign policy would be a summary of the key points made in the podcast.
I'm a librarian. There are more books I know about than have actually read. Same with current news. There's just so much reading I can get accomplished each day.
2 more comments: 1. Love your comment about tribalism and thinking independently from your side. 2. I think The Bulwark is unique because all of you went through moving away from your former side because it didn't value independent thinking. (That's not my unique insight. One of the commenters said it last week about the LA & Seattle live podcasts.)
