American Diplomat Podcast

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?

At American Diplomat, Ambassador (ret.) Pete Romero and Writer/Producer Laura Bennett go behind the scenes to hear real stories from diplomats who lived newsworthy events overseas. 

Experience the Cuban revolution, Central American insurgencies, the end of apartheid, and more through the eyes of those who were there. Our guests include some of our country's foremost leaders: Bill Burns, Director of CIA; Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US Ambassador to the UN; and Deputy Secretaries of State Wendy Sherman and Richard Verma. 

Our mission is to help our listeners understand who diplomats are - regular people called upon to prevent war and genocide, save people from bombings, call out dictators, and free political prisoners.
