Welcome back to PodSave the World for those of you who are subscribers.

Thank you so much for tuning back in.

This is your first time listening to this show.

It's basically a show about foreign policy.

It's a show where I try to take you guys behind the scenes inside the room where the

big decisions were made during the Obama administration or why we should care about Russia or what

it was like to lead the Iran talks or to reopen relations with Cuba.

Today's episode is a little bit different.

A few weeks back, Ben Rhodes and I had a conversation where we spent some time talking about Edward

Snowden.

Glenn Greenwald, who is the editor of the Intercept and who is the one who received most of

the original Stoden Disclosures and has worked with him most closely, asked for a chance

to respond.

So Glenn and I spent about 45 minutes last week.

We talked about some of the things Ben and I discussed in our interview about Edward Snowden,

but we also talked about Glenn's views on surveillance.

Generally, the role of the press corps, it was a fascinating interview for me.

It was eye-opening.

I really appreciated him spending the time and I think you guys will too.

Check it out.

Okay, here on Pod Save the World, we have Glenn Greenwald.

Glenn is one of the three co-founding editors of the Intercept.
