Nikolas Vacano joined our cohosts, Rilie and Rashaad to discuss his piece on the Trump Foreign Policy and how it addresses Multipolarity. Please note that this Podcast was recorded in mid December, and the current political dynamics domestically and internationally have shifted significantly since. 

A conversation with Ambassador David Young surrounding his career as a diplomat including his vast experience, notable impressions, and advice for students.

In this episode of the Speakeasy, we spoke to the Dean of Korbel, Fritz Mayer. The conversation centered on his career in academia and his experiences with “celebrity professors” and how the politiziation of his field has impacted its mission and work. As always, we started with a fun question on his days as a professional basketball player in England, and quickly spiraled into a heated discussion on Duke Basketball and Shane Battier!

On our third episode of the Speakeasy Podcast, the hosts implement a new series focusing on policies being (or have been) enacted around the world that they find interesting or hopeful. The first of this series highlights President Sheinbaum and Mexico's New Public Transportation policy that she is enacting in the second year of her term.

Please note that President Sheinbaum's name is pronounced incorrectly throughout the entirety of the episode due to a mispronunciation of the reading originally.

On the Second Episode of the Speakeasy Podcast, our hosts go over their breaks upon returning to the winter quarter, along with the constant news cycles recently occupying their minds. Specifically, they go over the protests and killings of multiple US citizens by the hands of ICE in recent days. 

At the end, is a call to action: find a way to get involved. 

Linked is a list of sources that can help those interested in fighting back, but have no concept of where to begin.
