Currently featuring season two of the podcast – a series of solo episodes from host Julie Varner Walsh on faith, reality, history, human relationship, society, politics – and ideas for how we might begin to make things better. New episodes dropping on Tuesdays in the summer of 2025.
More Than Politics
MTP 5: The U.S. on the World Stage (Part 2) with Dr. Kristen Urban
In this episode Julie Walsh talks with Dr. J. Kristen Urban, Professor Emerita from Mount St. Mary’s University. Dr. Urban, who has taught a variety of courses related to international politics, has spent time in Israel/Palestine, Russia, Romania, Italy, Turkey, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. In 2003/04, she was a Senior Fulbright Scholar to Bahrain.
In this second of a two-part conversation on the current state of the U.S. on the world stage, Julie and Dr. Urban discuss the Obama and Trump administrations, China and the Middle East, trade and conflict. And they discuss the implications of an increasingly isolationist United States as we face the global challenges of the future.
