- Total Episodes: 9
This is an election year unlike any other in ways that are unsettling and dangerous. Unconventional Threat brings together exclusive interviews with newsmakers about everything that can happen between now and Inauguration Day, when it’s possible we may still not have chosen a President. Journalist Peter Eisner and longtime State Department official Jonathan Winer will outline all the possibilities, including: the use of the military; uncounted ballots; and one scenario where the House of Representatives picks the next President, with each state getting just one vote, no matter who wins the popular vote or leads the Electoral College. Based on hard reporting, facts, and Constitutional Law, this series of 10 podcasts will prepare you for a very possible Unconventional Threat and delineate the steps we can take to come together as a nation to ensure that everyone has the chance to vote, their votes are counted, and the count is respected to create our national choice for President for the next four years. Unconventional Threat is a project of Keep Our Republic and is produced by District Productive.

Paperclip: America’s Nazi Scientists
- Publisher: Amazon Studios|L.A. Times Studios
- Total Episodes: 7
It’s 1945. Hitler is defeated. America is looking to outsmart a new enemy, the Soviet Union. To advance in rocketry, aviation, and chemical weapons, America recruits scientists and engineers who fueled the war machine of another nation…Nazi Germany. Inspired by the true story behind the Emmy-eligible drama series “Hunters” from Amazon Studios, starring Al Pacino and Logan Lerman, PAPERCLIP explores how Operation Paperclip – the recruitment of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant and, in many cases, most villainous scientists to the United States after World War II – impacted some of America’s most vital, monumental, and controversial endeavors in military technology, medical research, and the space program. As our two hosts, history professor Monique Laney and actor-comedian Michael Ian Black, tackle Operation Paperclip from multiple angles – from its “pragmatic” Cold War motivations to its wide range of applications – listeners will come to understand this little-known and unbelievable moment in American history.This is a paid podcast funded Amazon Studios. The Los Angeles Times newsroom was not involved in the production of this podcast. The views expressed on this podcast are not necessarily the views of Amazon Studios or the Los Angeles Times.Produced with support from Treefort Media.

Military and Veteran News and Information
The intro to the 20 Best Military News Podcasts says they were selected and RANKED. Are the podcasts listed in ranked order? I work at Stars and Stripes as the Operations Manager and noted that our podcast, Military Matters, was listed in third place. Does that mean it was considered the third best with Eyes Left as number 1?
I interpreted the list as if they were listed in order of quality since they’re not listed alphabetically. Our publisher is not so sure. Can you clarify if the listed is given in order of quality?
