Faithful Politics "Allies" w/Bryce Klehm (Lawfare) & Max Johnston (Goat Rodeo)
This week we speak with the creative minds behind the 7-part podcast series called, Allies. The series takes listeners through the 20 year war in Afghanistan and how America left many of our allies behind when the war ended. Associate editor of Lawfare, Bryce Klehm, and Senior Creative Producer at Goat Rodeo, Max Johnston, talk with hosts Will and Josh about the origins of the project, what they learned and what the future holds for those still in Afghanistan. Bryce and Max talk about some of their most memorable moments and even discuss some of the content that didn't quite make it on the show. Will (political hosts) as an Iraq veteran discusses the relationship he had with the interpreter that he worked alongside, and was appreciative of the work Bryce and Max did to spotlight this integral part of any wartime activity. If you want an inside look at the backbone of any American occupation of another country, and the failing Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, make sure you listen to this amazing podcast series.
