From Zombies to the Pentagon With Max Brooks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Think.Fight.Learn.Repeat., we sit down with Max Brooks, author of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, who has spent two decades briefing generals, red-teaming with the Marine Corps, and turning worst-case scenarios into real lessons for the people who plan for them. In this episode, we discuss which parts of World War Z have eerily come true, why fiction beats a briefing every time, his thoughts on "predictable surprises", and a look at his next book. This is a conversation a
John Boyd: A YouTube Personality in an Analog Age with Ian Brown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone knows John Boyd as "the OODA loop guy," but he was much more than that. In this episode, I sit down with Ian Brown, a Boyd historian who spent nearly a decade inside the archives poring over decades of briefings, transcripts, and slides to separate the man from the meme. We dig into why Boyd refused to publish a formal book, why he wouldn't let anyone walk away with his slides without sitting through the briefing, and why his 1976 essay, Destruction and Creation , and not the OODA loop,
AI, Command, and the Character of War with Dr. Anthony King (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Anthony King to discuss his new book, AI, Automation, and War , and what the rise of artificial intelligence actually means for the future of military command and conflict.

After Ukraine: Russia and the Baltics with Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The war in Ukraine will end sometime, but what happens next? In this episode, retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe, joins us to break down the next flashpoint on NATO's map: the Baltics. We discuss why he believes Crimea will decide the outcome of the War in Ukraine, why he calls Russia's nuclear threats a "myth" designed to freeze Western decision making, and whether that logic changes once you're talking about a NATO member state. We get into the hard geog
Systems Theory and The Taiwan Contingency with Dan Rice - Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In part 2 of my conversation with Dan Rice, Co-Director of the US Marine Corps War College's China Warfighting Initiative, we go deeper into the doctrinal weeds and the stakes get higher. From the structural similarities between MDO and China's Systems Warfare approach, to the terrifying escalation ladder of striking dual-use targets on the Chinese mainland, this episode focuses on a difficult question - are we prepared for a moment where operational assumptions may prove false?
