E13: ALIEN

On Space the Nation, we take our love of science fiction (and fantasy and horror) and smash it together with our professional passions: international relations (as brought to the table by Tufts University professor and Washington Post columnist Dan Drezner) and cultural criticism (as brought to the table by political columnist Ana Marie Cox).

For people who like white papers and graphic novels, Chapo Trap House and what Political Science Twitter used to be.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
