A Chinese “civilian airship” wafts across the US heartland. Vladimir Putin ramps up the saber-rattling as the one-year anniversary of his Ukraine invasion nears. And could a single platinum coin be America’s debt elixir? Victor Davis Hanson, the Hoover Institution’s Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow, joins Hoover senior fellows Niall Ferguson, H. R. McMaster, and John Cochrane to discuss “eyes in the sky,” ground warfare, plus one soccer-and-rugby-loving fellow’s super disgust with the super-sized spectacle that is the Super Bowl.
ABOUT THE SERIES
GoodFellows, a weekly Hoover Institution broadcast, features senior fellows John Cochrane, Niall Ferguson, and H.R. McMaster discussing the social, economic, and geostrategic ramifications of this changed world. They can’t banter over lunch these days, but they continue their spirited conversation online about what comes next, as we look forward to an end to the crisis.

Victor made some highly interesting points on Ukraine. He would be a great addition to Goodfellows on a more regular basis.

The World Cup final 1.5 billion viewers.
Very interesting listen and fun at the end, thanks guys
I know these gentlemen are really busy, but we really need The Goodfellows once a week!
Please introduction Niall to college football, preferably the Iron Bowl. Then he could feel the same love for the game,… But only on the Auburn side, War Eagle!
Draft HR McMaster for prez in 2024!!!
I love how Ferguson sees himself as American, often using 'we', until they start talking about sports.
This show may be my favorite podcast
I’ve been huge on Victor Davis Hanson since I first read his work in my humanities class at university. It’s always a treat to hear from one my go to historians. Now please bring in Thomas Sowell. At least once!
Soccer is both the worst and the most boring sport ever played.
My thoughts exacto regarding the super bowel
