On Monday at 7:00 AM ET, find Episode 137 of The Afghanistan Project on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Podcasts.
I'm thrilled to bring back Daniel Salazar and Sonia Norton for a discussion on updates for Afghans in various U.S. programs and pathways, and the long-awaited discussion on how to write, pitch, and promote an op-ed on Afghanistan that can help move the conversation forward in a positive manner in the current climate
