From the Podcast

Welcome to a thoughtfully crafted series that explores how people’s stories (whether rooted in human insecurity, inequality, socioeconomic dynamics, or global power shifts) shape and are shaped by diplomacy and international affairs.

Through interviews with expert guests, ranging from NATO to gender, career decisions to empathy, sanctions to soft power, The Diplomat’s Cabinet podcast strips foreign affairs down to what matters.

And shows why you should care, too.
