Hi, everyone. This is Bob McMahon. The world next week may have ended, but there are many other ways to get foreign policy and global news analysis from CFR.

For the next few weeks, I'll be highlighting some favorite CFR resources and podcasts in our feed, and I hope that you follow and subscribe.

My recommendation for this week is a podcast from our colleagues over at Foreign Affairs Magazine.

The Foreign Affairs interview is a bi-weekly show hosted by editor-in-chief Dan Kurtz-Falen.

Each episode, Dan talks with influential thinkers and policymakers about the forces shaping the world.

Whether the topic is the war in Ukraine, the U.S. competition with China, or the future of globalization,

the foreign affairs interview offers the kind of authoritative commentary and analysis that you can find in the magazine and on the website.

Subscribe today and look out for new episodes in your feed every other Thursday morning.
