“20-year intelligence analyst and award-winning podcast host. I give listeners the framework-driven read the cable shows won't.”
I've spent two decades in the U.S. intelligence community, and now I make sense of global chaos for audiences who want clarity instead of shouting. I host This Week Explained (Best News Podcast, Podcon 2026) and contribute to NTD, breaking down major geopolitical events with the structured analysis I used professionally, made accessible.
I speak with depth, on short notice, to Iran, Lebanon and Hezbollah, the Sahel and Russian influence in Africa, and US-China-Russia competition. I bring frameworks your listeners can use, calm assessments over hot takes, and a habit of answering the question that matters most: so what?
Based in Europe, I'm often across breaking Middle East stories before the US wakes up, so I'm a fast, reliable booking when news moves. I'm broadcast-ready for remote recording, easy to work with, and I show up sharp, quotable, and respectful of your audience's time.
Let's give your listeners a read the cable panels can't.
