Credentials over Socials

Hi guys, Marshall, you've broughten up how you view yourself as more of an academic than a producer for a show. I was curious on your views of displaying credentials or education in the lower thirds over Twitter handles when it comes to interviews or news shows. Whenever I see a Twitter handle and I don't have a Twitter account it's kind of useless to me. Speaking from a normal person's perspective I'm not about to go follow some PhD or politician account off of a segment. I understand you're posting it on social media and everyone wants to gain an audience I was curious from your academic leaning perspective for a show which do you feel is more beneficial? For Saagar, You have a degree in Security and went to college that gives you great insights into conflicts and the ability to give nuance. But to somebody I'm showing a clip to you're just some random guy in a suit on a set. I'm not saying to audibly bring it every time like I have a degree in this" but a non-audible representation goes a long way with helping show others that you are not some random person talking about a topic.

Are you guys Podcasts?

Hi guys, Last AMA you answered a question on podcast burnout, and a follow up. I was curious if you consider yourselves podcasts or something else? This probably applies more the Saagar and BP than The Realignment due to it being audio first. The Realignment is a set away from a Interview show, and BP is a independent media channel in my eyes, once you have to reference something on screen I feel like you lose the podcast\audio vibe. What makes a show a podcast? Is it the independent nature of it? Is it the "not music" category on platforms?

Israel’s war in Gaza

Is Israel conducting a genocide in Gaza? To generalize the left wing view in the Israel Palestine context, the word has been too loosely used to mean disproportionate casualties in a war is a genocide. Explain why this is right or wrong.
