Shadi's
latest piece for the Atlantic, the tension between
political change and negative externalities, their new Patreon
account, and plans for a newsletter.
About the Podcast
We’re Damir Marusic and Shadi Hamid. We live in Washington DC and have been friends for a while. One of us works at a magazine, another thinks in a tank. The idea behind the podcast is to try out ideas in the hope of getting considered push-back—in real-time. We talk politics, ideas, culture, and current events. Civil discussion, maybe even a bit odd. But hopefully fun.
