This podcast shares the stories of former USAID Foreign Service Officers, who recall moments of danger, traveling to monitor remote projects, hosting VIP visitors, how moving to a new country every few years impacted their families, and more.

On this show, we’re not here to talk s*** about DOGE, or lament the changes to foreign assistance, or share again the earnest facts about the many lives USAID saved.

This show is about what life was like for those posted overseas with USAID. Their stories are harrowing and hilarious, heartbreaking and joyful. Because USAID service was never a job. It was our life.
