Listen Later

In this episode of NucleCast, Adam interviews Bryan Bender, VP for Communication Strategy at SMI and a contributor to Politico magazine. They explore the barriers to entry and the challenges faced by young people interested in nuclear issues. The conversation delves into the perspectives of the arms control community and the concerns they have about the collapse of arms control frameworks.

Takeaways:

  • The nuclear field lacks the brainpower needed to address complex and dangerous issues.
  • There are divergent views on nuclear issues, with some advocating for enhancing the nuclear deterrent and others calling for arms control and disarmament.
  • There are barriers to entry in the nuclear field, including difficulties in getting government positions and a lack of training grounds and career pathways.
  • The arms control community is concerned about the collapse of arms control frameworks and the need to revive guardrails in the nuclear age.
  • Increasing awareness of the importance of nuclear weapons, successful development of the replacement ICBM, and clearer heads in Moscow and Beijing are important goals for the nuclear field.

Bryan Bender is an experienced journalist and communicator with an extensive network in the national security and foreign policy communities, think tanks, trade associations and the private sector.
