Welcome to The Burn Bag Newsletter, a weekly periodical focusing on national security and the factors that shape it. Our contributors are young professionals and students across a wide range of academic and industry disciplines who all share a common understanding: every policy decision affects national security.

In each newsletter, you’ll read apolitical analysis of domestic and global affairs by burgeoning experts in fields ranging from trade policy, to public health, to international development, and beyond. Each writer’s unique focus keeps our content distinct. As such, our aim is not just to keep you informed, but also to provide you with perspectives you might not yet have considered on issues of which you might not yet have heard.

At The Burn Bag Newsletter, we offer two ingredients for upholding national security: clarity and talent. Our writers are young and earnest: students and young professionals, they are aspiring public servants and burgeoning policy wonks alike in their desire to do something. That something is this.

Our mission is twofold:

  1. The Burn Bag Newsletter aims to deliver apolitical analysis of the policy decisions and environments that affect American national security.

  2. The Burn Bag Newsletter offers a unique platform to nascent policy specialists.

    If you’d like to have your writing featured with us, please email us at burnbagpodcast@gmail.com.
