Lawfare’s podcast series Rational Security released a new installment titled the “Hip to Be a Square State” edition. The episode features Scott in conversation with several familiar Lawfare voices, including Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman, Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee, and a contributing editor who also serves as vice president of research, security and defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
Based on the episode description, the discussion brings together contributors with expertise spanning foreign policy, public service and defense research. That mix suggests a broad, analytical conversation in the style listeners expect from Rational Security, with participants drawing on their different professional backgrounds.
The lineup highlights Lawfare’s focus on connecting policy analysis with national security and global affairs. With Byman, Curlee and another senior security expert joining Scott, the episode appears designed as a roundtable that blends legal, strategic and policy perspectives.
While only a limited preview is available, the latest Rational Security entry is positioned as another installment in Lawfare’s ongoing coverage of major security and foreign policy questions. The episode title adds a distinctive label to a conversation anchored by well-known voices from the publication’s network.
