For the last 20 years, the U.S. has been wrapped up in a costly war
in Afghanistan, initially in response to the attacks on September
11. But America's chaotic withdrawal this year, in just a short
amount of time, has left the country back in Taliban control, with
troops scrambling to get U.S. citizens and Afghan allies out before
the deadline of August 31. So how do we make sense of it all? And
what will be the impact on U.S. foreign policy going forward? Sam
breaks it all down with Monika Evstatieva, senior producer on NPR's
Investigations Unit, and Asma Khalid, NPR White House
correspondent.
Plus, Sam talks about the FX on Hulu series Reservation Dogs with
co-creator and executive producer Sterlin Harjo and writer Tommy
Pico. They discuss the process of writing a show by and for Native
people and why they centered on a coming-of-age story.
