Welcome to the new and improved American Prestige. In the summer of 2021, we started this podcast because we were exhausted by the mainstream media’s coverage of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. For the duration of our lifetimes (and for decades before that) the overwhelming majority of U.S. commentators, newspeople, and pundits have assumed that global peace and prosperity depend on what is euphemistically called U.S. global “leadership”—a fancy word for empire. Because the United States rules the world, the foreign policy elite has repeated
I have mixed feelings about this. I swore that I would never use or subscribe to substack because I don't wanna be one of those people... but now you fks have gone and made me a substack user.
Hi - big fan of the podcast. Just wondering if it would be possible to add a "Series" tab, or provide links to previous episodes at the end of a series episode. Any solution that can prevent a lot of scrolling basically. Thanks!
OK this is the most important thing I can think of.
love the podcast but your branding of the fan base/ listeners sucks. It seems pretty obvious "prestige heads" is dumb sounding.
I submit changing it to "Welcome to all the Prestige Thinkers out there." hell, if you wanted it to stay closer to the original you could say "Prestige Minds"
don't thank me for solving greatest issue facing us in these times. I'm just doing my part.
Hi been paying on Patreon for a long time probably over a year if I had to guess. Went to listen and everything on Patreon is gone and now you guys are here. Do I need to pay here now as well and start a new membership?
Extremely important question: the intro and outro music are bangers--are they just short clips composed by Jake, or are they parts of longer songs one could seek out?
The fact is that many countries expecting the US to lead as things normalize. 'Self Determination' pathway for certain nations is still riddled with unknowns and may need course change anytime. There are Global institutions designed for just this, but a vast majority of foreign population pin their hopes on strong nations and not institution.
I hate this. The substack app home page asks me to download the app on the app itself? Why is it full of ads? Why do I have to search for my subscriptions everytime. Why do I have to login everytime? Lol i dont understand what motivated the platform switch.
This is just me being annoying, maybe. I'll keep supporting but substack is a major downgrade. This has been the worst deal in the history of deals, maybe ever.

so... subscribing without a credit card is not possible any more, is that right?

Hey there newish subscriber looking for a RSS feed?

The rss feed link says its broken
" . . . what U.S. foreign policy would look like if the interests of all people in the world . . . were taken into account".
You'll never know as it never is.
Like asking General Crassus how Imperial Roman would look if it was not for those like him who took it down and sent Europe into The Dark Ages.
As for the trajectory of The United States . . .

The title "American Prestige" is arrogant.

Will past episodes eventually be accessible here on Substack?
