The People's Drunken Briefing is a podcast where three anonymous idiots with varying experience in public policy and foreign relations get more than a little bit drunk and talk about international happenings, online nonsense and whatever else comes to mind in a way that (we hope) is digestible and approachable for people who might not have backgrounds in the above stuff. Take absolutely no part of this debauchery seriously
