Where can you listen?

Foreign policy is made by people, not just governments. On Armchair Diplomat, we look at today’s global events through the eyes of the career diplomats who lived them.

Hosted by Michael Eddy, we trade talking points for real stories. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of overseas negotiations, on-the-ground relationships, and what it actually takes to represent the U.S. abroad. In 30 minutes, we go beyond the cable news headlines to decode current realities and answer the only two questions that matter: Why does this matter? And why should you care?
