Today I recommend the The President’s Inbox, a podcast series from the Council on Foreign Relations.

Each episode is an in-depth discussion of Trump’s transition to the White House. CFR takes no institutional positions, and the hosts and guests are balanced while stating opinions in their areas of expertise.

The episodes are serious analysis in the face of the increasing absurdity of the transition. Come January 20th, it is serious for us all, so arm yourself on the key international issues.
