2. Foreign Policy Playlist

Washington, District of Columbia, US
Each week here at Foreign Policy, we interview one person for an intimate, narrative-driven conversation about something timely and important in the world. Our guests are people who have participated directly in events, either as protagonists or eyewitnesses. We get them to tell a story about their experience, not just offer their analysis. That approach is driven by the feeling here at Foreign Policy that to understand our world to grasp the complexities and nuances of our time we need to get as close to the source as possible.
