In the US, national security news can feel far away from daily life.
Distant wars, murky conflicts, diplomacy behind closed doors.
On our new show, Sources and Methods.
NPR reporters on the ground bring you stories of real people helping you understand why distant events matter here at home.
Listen to Sources and Methods on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey everybody, Miles Parks here.
Before we start today's show, I have a quick and exciting announcement for you.

And to celebrate, we are doing a live show later this month.
That's right, a live show with a live audience and you can be a part of it.
Come join me and some of the other voices you hear every day in person in Washington on Thursday,
October 30th.
You can find information on tickets and more at npr.org slash politics live show.
Again, npr.org slash politics live show.
