Under Threat: Women, Power, and Democracy: A Conversation with Linda Robinson
Why are fewer women seeking political leadership today? In this episode, recorded on June 1 for KSFR's The Forum Plus, Linda Robinson and I discuss the growing threats, harassment, and intimidation that are driving many women away from public service both in the United States and around the world. Linda's latest book is Women in Power: Fighting for Democracy in an Age of Authoritarianism. As threats, harassment, and intimidation increasingly target women leaders, and often their families, many are deciding that the personal cost of public service is simply too high. Robinson explores how attacks on democracy and gender equality frequently go hand in hand, particularly under authoritarian movements. Drawing on her extensive interviews with women who have led their countries' defense against authoritarianism, she describes similarities among these inspiring leaders.

The Infiniti Machine - A WorldNow Conversation with Sebastian Mallaby
At a time when there is growing pushback against AI, Sebastian Mallaby, the Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, joined me for a wide-ranging conversation based on his latest bestseller, The Infinity Machine. Mallaby has a unique talent for building compelling narratives around fascinating individuals and the forces shaping their fields. In The Infinity Machine, he focuses on Demis Hassabis, founder of DeepMind, exploring his lifelong drive for competition, scientific discovery, and innovation. During our conversation, Sebastian reflected on how three years of research changed his own thinking about whether AI represents a profound threat or an extraordinary opportunity. We also discussed the growing competition between China and the United States, and whether winning that race truly matters. Sebastian explains why he believes governments must play a role in regulating AI and suggests that the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons could serve as a useful model for international cooperation and oversight. This conversation, which was hosted by the World Affairs Council of Connecticut, was recorded on May 20, 2026.
