Each week, The DSR Network brings together a remarkable cross-section of the world’s leading experts with special insights into the inner workings of politics, international relations, science, technology, markets, healthcare, the environment, energy and other sources of power, conflict and debate.
With a core team that has been podcasting together for a decade, DSR has been a leader in providing unvarnished, fact-based, diverse perspectives on the critical issues of our time.
Our roster of weekly podcasts has grown from one or two per week to encompass a wide array of programming that in every case is a recognized leader in its field. Deep State Radio, our national security and international affairs podcast, was our first and is our flagship expert podcast. But joining it weekly today are:
- The DSR Daily—insightful, no punches pulled perspectives on the daily headlines (5 times a week.) Hosts: Riley Fessler, Minnah Stein and David Rothkopf.
- The Daily Blast—a production DSR does on behalf of the editors of the New Republic providing deep dives on one big story each day. Host: Greg Sargent.
- DSR’s Words Matter—a weekly look at political developments in the United States. Host: Norm Ornstein.
- Siliconsciousness—One of the world’s top podcasts on the artificial intelligence revolution and the debates and discoveries that are making it of central importance to everyone everywhere.
- The AI, Energy and Climate Podcast—Just as the title suggests, a weekly look at the intersection between the most important tech and energy issues being discussed anywhere.
- DSR’s “Need to Know” Special Reports—Linked to our “Need to Know” weekly columns available on Substack, these special weekly podcasts focus on the views of one or two key internationally known expert(s) on a topic of special importance that is not getting the detailed, nuanced attention it deserves elsewhere in the mainstream media.
The impact has been massive. Today, producing between 15 and 20 podcast episodes a week for a global audience on every continent, DSR Network productions generation well over 1.5 million downloads a month. Furthermore, our listeners are loyal. Audience surveys show they return week after week, that they regularly listen to several podcasts each week and that they stay tuned in for the duration of each episode, more than twice the after sustained listenership of the average podcasts.
In addition to our podcasts, DSR presents live and virtual events, scenario exercises and other programming that bring together large cross-sections of the most influential players in critical areas and enables our audience to interact with them.
One special objective of Deep State Radio is not just to offer the views of the insiders to whom others turn for expertise but to also seek out new voices—and to do so in a way that promotes in a way more main stream sites do not—real diversity of perspectives.
The DSR Network is a division of TRG, Inc. It is assiduously editorially independent and committed to providing the highest quality, full range of perspectives on the issues it covers.
