Listen Later

[originally published on Feb 28, 2022]

Today I'm joined by Matt Farwell (@HuntClancy), author of American Cipher: Bowe Bergdahl and the U.S. Tragedy in Afghanistan, and the Hunt for Tom Clancy substack, to discuss all kinds of things: gardening, his wild life, Michael Hastings, "fringe information networks", and especially Tom Clancy, "the Rosetta stone...for understanding and interpreting the mad trajectory of America in the late cold war and through the war on terror". We talk about Clancy's ties to the national security state, COG (continuity of government), the Institute for Creative Technologies, all kinds of noided topics. See the links below to find his work.
