An in-depth examination of how the United States can build more effective partner militaries. Military assistance has a bad reputation. Large-scale attempts to build partner militaries in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam cost the United States billions of dollars and ended ignominiously, with the collapse of local forces as American troops withdrew. Arms transfers of sophisticated, American-made weapons often appear to do more harm than good. Yet military assistance and support—operating indirectly through partners—when done right, can deliver remarkable strategic results for the United States and its partners. Working effectively with partner militaries is one of the most pressing national security challenges for the United States today. In their latest book, War at Arm's Length: How America Can Build Effective Partners Through Military Assistance (Yale University Press, 2026), Richard Bennet and Alexander Noyes offer a systematic look at military assistance in the twenty-first century, examining a frequently deployed but often misunderstood set of tools that allows the United States to leverage partner militaries to achieve national security objectives. Bennet and Noyes posit that two main factors—the degree of interest alignment on security issues and the level of institutional capacity of the receiving force—will be the most important variables in Washington's ability to build militarily effective partners. Our guests today are Doctor Richard Bennet, who is a senior research associate at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland, and Doctor Alexander Noyes, who is a fellow in the Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at the Brookings Institution. Our host is Eleonora Mattiacci, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Amherst College.

Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in congress since 2009. Now, the U.S. senator is running for governor – and is in the midst of a heated democratic primary against fellow candidate, Attorney General Phil Weiser. Last fall, Bennet sat down with host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about everything from housing affordability and rent algorithms to pushing back against Trump. Just a note: we reached out to Bennet's campaign, but were not able to get an interview ahead of this month's primaries. For more on Bennet, listen to our past episode with local historian Phil Goodstein, who shared more of the the senator's backstory.

Send us Fan Mail(This episode contains spoilers).I only have a few more episodes to go, but this series so far is refreshing, delightful and vicariously quite healing. As a middle child, Mary Bennet has never been the star or even costar of any Pride and Prejudice adaptation, rather an outcast and object of ridicule. But in this reimagining of the story, Mary finally emerges as swan from her oppressive existence at Longbourn, becoming the main character in her own life as she takes a new job in London. Turns out she's a smart, sweet thoughtful woman with tons to offer the world, and desires of her own, and I can't wait for her happy ending."We should sweep away these old tired rules..."This scene could easily turn the most hardened heart into a poetry lover."What if Mary Bennet's life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters?" This sounds like a great idea for a book and a show.Brief but interesting interview with Ella Bruccoleri on playing Mary BennetSupport the showIf you enjoyed this episode, please click share in your podcast app and tell your friends!

The debate that was supposed to be a chance for Colorado voters to get answers on the big issues has turned out to be a total sham. Dan is calling out the moderators for their lack of tough questions, which left the audience with more questions than answers. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand what really went down in that debate and why it's a disservice to the people of Colorado. Dan is not mincing words, calling the debate "the single most rigged debate we've ever seen in Colorado." They're pointing out the obvious lack of questions on issues that Democrats are most vulnerable on, like boys playing girls' sports, crime, and late-term abortion. Meanwhile, the moderators had time to ask about obscure vetos from the governor, but not about the pressing concerns of the people. It's a clear case of protecting the candidates and the party at the expense of the truth. Dan is not just criticizing the moderators, but also the Democratic Party as a whole. They're pointing out the party's obsession with abortion and how it's a bad issue for them. They're also highlighting the lack of questions on issues like homelessness, healthcare for illegal immigrants, and the state of Colorado's roads. It's a scathing critique of the party's priorities and their approach to the debate. If you want to understand what really went down in that debate and why it's a disservice to the people of Colorado, you need to listen to this episode. The speaker is calling out the powers that be and holding them accountable for their actions. Don't miss this episode if you want to stay informed and engaged in the issues that matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I WATCHED THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR’S DEBATE So you didn’t have too. Oof. It was super boring. My claim that it would be a milquetoast bloodbath was spot on. Kyle and Marshall asked softball after softball, never asking about Phil Weiser being Attorney General while crime and drug overdoses skyrocketed while he sued Trump. Never asked Michael Bennet who voted for bloated budget after budget in DC what his budget would look like in Colorado. What a waste of time, but if you think Polis and the Democratic Legislature were bad, wait until one of these guys gets into office. Bennet said he wants a budget destroying public option. They both said they would sign the labor bills Polis vetoes. They kept talking about affordability and then talking about more regulation in the next breath as if they aren’t inextricably linked. We are so screwed. As much as I hate to do this, you need to watch this debate. If for no other reason than see how bad things are going to get. Longtime journalist Chris Rourke is joining me at 1 to talk about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colorado's primary elections are just around the corner. And there's a lot riding on them — all of the statewide constitutional offices are on the ballot — and thanks to term limits, all of those races are wide open, including Colorado's top office: governor. The fields include a who's who of Colorado politics, and one newcomer who may have the potential to shake things up.CPR's Bente Birkeland talks with The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul and CPR's Ben Markus about who's on the Democratic and Republican tickets and the dynamics at play as they vie for votes. The five hopefuls on the ballot are running at a time when both parties are doing a bit of soul searching, and Coloradans on both sides of the aisle seem frustrated with the status quo. Catch up on our latest coverage: CPR News: 2026 Colorado Primary Election Voter Guide CPR News: Bottoms, Kirkmeyer make their cases to primary voters in CPR News gubernatorial candidates debate CPR News: Democratic gubernatorial candidates Bennet and Weiser make their pitches to voters in live debate The Colorado Sun: A third of Colorado voters have still never heard of Phil Weiser, poll shows CPR News: Colorado GOP governor primary pits MAGA candidates against establishment favorite The Colorado Sun: Tina Peters isn't the first Colorado convict to become a central figure in a governor's race Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state.

Ever wondered what it's really like to grow up competing for a billionaire media or music empire? Or how the "perfect" family sitcoms of the 90s shaped our real-world sibling expectations?
 Welcome back to the second part of Catherine Carr's conversation with Kemi Alemoru, acclaimed journalist and Head of Editorial Content at Glamour UK.  They are still unpacking the siblings we've watched on TV, in Music, and popular culture. Catherine and Kemi share their mutual love of TV's most toxic family, the Roys  from Succession where the siblings trauma-bond after surviving  a domineering father. They dissect the "eldest boy" syndrome, and the constant, exhausting battle for their parent's affection and empire. They also discuss The Jacksons, and their impact as a family and musical geniuses. Kemi shares how the shiny, aspirational family units presented in classic sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and My Wife and Kids provided a crucial blueprint for her own upbringing.  And they touch on other cult siblings, the Bennet sisters from Pride and Prejudice and the dysfunctional dynamics of Arrested Development.  This is a sharp, insightful, and totally riveting conversation about the pop culture siblings we love to analyse, and the real-life family roles we can't escape. If this one hit home, share it with your siblings. Subscribe to the Relatively Podcast channel so you never miss an episode.

Democrat Michael Bennet hopes to leave the US Senate and become Colorado's next governor. Ahead of the June 30th primary, Bennet is our guest today. Yesterday, we heard from his opponent in the Democratic race, Attorney General Phil Weiser.

In segment 2 of the first hour of The Charlie James Show on May 1, 2026, the discussion shifted to the specific South Carolina Senators allegedly stalling the redistricting vote.Segment HighlightsThe "Holdouts": Charlie James identified Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, Senator Sean Bennett, and Senator Tom Davis as the primary Republican figures preventing a floor vote on the new congressional maps.The Conflict: James characterized these three senators as being out of step with the "grassroots" conservative movement that is pushing for an aggressive redrawing of District 6 (currently held by Democrat Jim Clyburn).Massey's Rationale: While James criticized the delay, he noted Massey's public defense: that a map drawn too aggressively for GOP gain might be struck down by the courts or result in a "split" that could actually jeopardize other safe Republican seats in the long run.Senate Dynamics: The segment explored the internal friction between these senior Senate leaders and the more "Trump-aligned" members of the South Carolina House who have already signaled support for a swifter, more radical redistricting process.

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Steve Bennet, founder and managing director of Bodega Partners, longtime startup CFO, investor, professor, and father and grandfather, for a powerful conversation on entrepreneurship, mentorship, and life after decades in Silicon Valley. With over 30 years of experience and involvement in more than 150 technology startups, Steve has seen the full spectrum of success and failure. From companies acquired by IBM, Comcast, and Citrix to ventures that didn't make it, he brings a rare perspective on what actually drives long-term success in business and in life. But this conversation goes beyond startups. Steve shares why teaching and mentoring students has become one of the most fulfilling parts of his career, how his perspective on success has evolved over time, and what it means to balance family life while navigating high-pressure roles in venture capital and entrepreneurship. He and Young dive into the realities of startup challenges, the incentives behind venture capital, and the difficult decisions founders face as they grow their companies. They also explore parenting through a long-term lens, why letting kids make mistakes matters, and how experience shapes the way we guide the next generation. This episode is about perspective. What changes after 30 years of building, investing, and teaching. And what actually matters at the end of it. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together.

*Warning: some spoilers in this ep* In this episode, I'm joined by screenwriter Sarah Quintrell to dive into the world of Mary Bennet and the brilliance of The Other Bennet Sister

Hi Friends! This week were talking about Most Ardently by Cole Novoa! We're talking about our favorite "vintage" era tropes, being trans in that time and exactly how many of the Bennet's are gay this time? And much more! Theme by Man with Roses Book Description Below: London, 1812 . Oliver Bennet feels trapped—not just by the endless corsets, petticoats, and skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world, and the vast majority of his family and friends, think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress, entertain suitors regardless of his interest in them, and ultimately become someone's wife. But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It's during one such excursion when Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky young man who had been rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart, not to mention attractive. As Oliver spends more time as his true self, often with Darcy, part of him dares to hope that his dream of love and life as a man can be possible. But suitors are growing bolder―and even threatening―and his mother is growing more desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly his own.

Up in the hot seat this week is Elliot Bennet, older brother of Kyle Bennet. Browny kicks things off by calling Elliot the calm, sensible one—but after two hours, that claim starts to feel… questionable. Breaking through at Wolves, Bennet initially lived in his brother's shadow. But Mick McCarthy had other ideas, shipping him out to Brighton under Gus Poyet, where a coaching staff full of mavericks set the tone early. And things only got wilder from there. With Charlie Oatway sparking fights during pre-season at Brighton, you might expect a move to Premier League Norwich to bring some calm. Instead? Think stink bombs in the dressing room, teammates' wives setting off fireworks, and the chaos of “supercar Fridays.” Safe to say—it wasn't exactly a quiet step up.

What a wild ride this week. We've all heard stories of someone needing their appendix removed but what if the only surgeon available is you? Rachel brings us a horrifying tale of a doctor in Antarctica who had to remove their own appendix. Victoria tells us the tale of African sleeping sickness. This nasty disease is spread by the tse-tse fly and humans are making strides in fighting both the disease and the flies. Finally, Kirk brings us a lighter story this week. Mysterious crop circles in Tasmania ended up being from Bennet's wallabies chowing down on opium poppies and jumping in drug-induced circles. Join us weekly for more strange nature.

It's our (belated) International Women's Day episode this week, with a trio of female fronted shows to tackle, from Imperfect Women on Apple (1:13:41), to A Woman Of Substance on Channel 4 (1:27:20), and The Other Bennet Sister on BBC1 (1:41:16) — for which we also speak to Ruth Jones and Ella Bruccoleri (39:58-58:06). Plus last week's bum banter is swapped out for an array of dog discussion as we chew over the broadcast of this week's Crufts, and Steph decides to put James and Boyd on the spot and make them name their all-time favourite female protagonists. Yes, James did forget to mention Captain Janeway and Catherine Cawood. No, he's still not forgiven himself. Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

Hi friends! This week we're reading The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Lindz McLeod! We're talking about regency era queer flagging, which Jane Austen adaptation is the our favorite one and much much more! Theme by Man with Roses Book Description Below: After procuring several fervent assurances that his wife would apologize sincerely and deeply for his absence from Rosings that evening, Mr Collins reluctantly died." Thus begins THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET, a sapphic romance between recently widowed Charlotte Lucas and grown-up scientist Mary Bennet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder at the sheer sturdiness of a well-built pianoforte.

Actor James McAvoy who has starred in everything from Shameless to X Men talks about turning director for his debut feature, California Schemin'. The film, which is billed as being "based on a true lie", tells the story of two young rappers from Dundee who pretended to be American in order to be taken seriously by the record industry - and ended up touring with Eminem in the 2000s. BBC One's new Sunday evening drama series The Other Bennet Sister tells the story of Pride and Prejudice through the eyes of Mary Bennet, often regarded as less remarkable than her sisters Jane and Elizabeth in Jane Austen's classic novel. Screenwriter Sarah Quintrell speaks about adapting Janice Hadlow's bestselling book which offers a new perspective on the much-loved book and stars Bridgerton's Ella Bruccoleri in the lead role, as well as Ruth Jones as  mother Mrs Bennet, with Richard E Grant as Mr Bennet. And 800 years on from his death, we are joined by art historian Joost Joustra and Franciscan Friar Brother Samuel to consider the cultural legacy of St Francis of Assisi.

With the primaries just around the corner in June, Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser are hitting the gubernatorial campaign trail hard. This past weekend, the two leading Democratic candidates joined a forum — put on by Greater Denver Transit, the Denver Bicycle Lobby, and YIMBY Denver — to spar over their positions on everything from Peña Boulevard and rental assistance to allowing apartment buildings to ban dogs. Producer Paul Karolyi was there, and he sits down with host Bree Davies to discuss what he observed from Weiser and Bennet and how the housing and transit crowd reacted.  Paul mentioned this new Denver Post report that DIA officials have “broadened their approach” to their work addressing traffic congestion on Peña Boulevard and will now consider increasing public transit service.
