We had a serious conversation about journalism, democracy, and what it means to pursue objective truth, but it was also just fun talking to Christiane Amanpour for the latest episode of PolicyCast. She's genuine without even a hint of pretension. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

We lost a giant. Joe Nye was the rarest of combinations: a visionary, an intellectual, and a mensch. So glad I got to talk to him last month.

What a joy to talk to HKS Professor (and former dean) Joe Nye. He coined the phrase "soft power" to describe ways that countries influence the world other than military or economic power. (Spoiler alert: he says US soft power is declining under Trump.) My latest PolicyCast: lnkd.in/ehvP2GWp

What a privilege to talk to Ambassador Wendy Sherman about what's behind Trump's radical realignment of our geopolitical relationships. Since China, Iran, and North Korea have all been in her State Dept. portfolio, she knows authoritarians. Expect her PolicyCast to drop Thursday AM. #PolicyCast

Great discussion today with HKS Professor Danielle Allen of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation and HKS Lecturer Mark Fagan about how to use AI to make governance better in a way that uplifts people and supports democracy. Expect the episode to drop next week! #policycast

Honored to have Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo as my guest on PolicyCast yesterday (episode goes live Wednesday). We talked about the Europe and the vital global role it will play now that the Trump administration has begun dismantling climate, public health, and other important programs.
