Thursday, May 22, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
USC Capital Campus, Washington, D.C.
The Democracy Group invites you to join us for our first ever live podcast recording. Foreign policy expert and fellow podcaster Ben Rhodes will be in conversation with Kamy Akhavan of Let's Find Common Ground and Stephanie Gerber Wilson of Freedom Over Fascism about America’s place on the world stage and how the health of American democracy impacts other democracies around the world. We’ll also discuss how podcasting can shape messaging and narrative in a fractured media environment. A reception with food and drink will be held at 6:00 p.m., followed by the live recording at 7:00 p.m.
Rhodes is a writer, political commentator, and national security analyst. He is the author of the New York Times bestsellers After the Fall: Being American in the World We’ve Made, and The World As It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House. He is currently co-host of Pod Save the World. His work has also been published in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Foreign Affairs.
From 2009-2017, Ben served as a speechwriter and Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama. In that capacity, he participated in all of President Obama’s key decisions, oversaw the President’s national security communications and public diplomacy, and led the secret negotiations with the Cuban government that resulted in the effort to normalize relations between the United States and Cuba.
