A Sneak Peek at Rational Security 2.0: The 'Dry-Runs are for Cowards' Edition

Added 2021-09-02 16:01:33 +0000 UTC

Dear Patreon supporters,

We're writing to bring you a special treat: a sneak preview of Rational Security 2.0, in which a new trio of hosts—Lawfare's Scott R. Anderson, Quinta Jurecic, and Alan Rozenshtein—will be taking over the reins. Each week they'll be joined by another member of the broader Lawfare community (and occasionally an old friend from RatSec 1.0) to dissect the news with listeners, starting after Labor Day.

On this bonus "The 'Dry-Runs Are For Cowards' Edition," the new squad tries and gets their sea-legs while they discuss: the discourse over Afghanistan and whether it's as toxic as Twitter makes it feel; why Apple's latest effort to combat child sexual abuse has it poking around on your iPhone; and what the Biden administration's boosters bonanza means for the future of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, both at home and abroad.

As object lessons, Alan puts in a plug for the oh-so-sexy French spy drama, The Bureau (not to be confused with Le Bureau). Quinta endorses the guilty pleasure of scrolling through former Attorney General Bill Barr's recently FOIA-ed text messages from 2020. And Scott asks listeners to give us some feedback on some of the changes we're thinking about making to Rational Security through this survey.

Please do fill out that survey and be sure to keep an eye on the Rational Security podcast feed for the official first episode!

All the best,

Team Lawfare
