I am proud to introduce the first episode of the Georgetown Public Policy Review Podcast. The drive behind producing a podcast was to find a medium that would allow Review staff to comment on their work, provide updates on recently published articles, and expand the way we approach policy analysis. This podcast will be a forum to grapple with the messy amalgam of economics, politics, law, and culture that attracted Review staff to public policy in the first place.

In our inaugural episode, Kristine Johnston, Jose Pepe Lobo, and Rachel Wood discuss their recent pieces for the Review and the broader implications of leadership for policy in general. Stay tuned for more and different material in future episodes.
