Great so far! Informative and detailed without being too long. I like their OSInt, kind of a version of "Can't let it go."

NPR generally provides high quality analysis, seems like a good addition to the mix given everything going on.

The great Mary Louise Kelly debuts a new podcast about spying - an essential part of our national security infrastructure. The first episode brings in NPR correspondents reporting from Moscow and Kiev. Listen and keep your eyes on things!

Description

National security, unlocked. Each Thursday, host Mary Louise Kelly and a team of NPR correspondents discuss the biggest national security news of the week. With decades of reporting from battlefields and the halls of power, they bring you inside the Pentagon, State Department, and intelligence community to help you understand America's shifting role in the world, and how events in faraway places matter here at home. Additional episodes feature interviews with power players from the NatSec world -- current and former military officials, intelligence experts, diplomatic leaders, and more.
