About:

The National Security Project “TNSP” is a nonpartisan, independent, self-funded, ad-free channel covering international security affairs and the defense tech sector.

TNSP offers founders, academics, and subject matter experts a platform for long-form discussion and presentation. We aim to give today’s best, and often overlooked, the time and space to present their work. Our goal is to produce engaging, relevant, factually-grounded material so listeners can spend their limited free time learning something useful, whether for their job or personal education.

Criteria for Interviewees:

We seek individuals deeply involved in the fields of international security or defense tech.

For the former, we are interested in interviewing professors, researchers, and PhD candidates on their area of expertise vis-a-vis international security affairs; current or former policymakers who work[ed] across the various dimensions of security affairs (military, cyber, economic, diplomatic, environmental, etc); active-duty military, civilians, or government employees with first-hand, subject matter expertise; and journalists and analysts who cover the above topics.

For the latter, we are interested in highlighting founders and companies, overlooked by mainstream media outlets, in the following spaces: manufacturing, autonomous platforms, weapons systems, propulsion systems, intelligence gathering, C2, cybersecurity, communications equipment, surveillance/EW/SIGINT, guidance systems, and related categories that shape the future of warfare.

If you find yourself in between either of these categories, or working in a related field, please reach out to us via email (tnsp.team@proton.me) to see if this is a good match.

Guiding Principles:

The modern podcast space is oversaturated with channels trying to be “one-stop-shops” for all things news. TNSP’s focus, by contrast, is narrow and will remain narrow.

For the team at TNSP, success will look like publishing the highest-quality interviews, panels, and technical deep dives in the entire national security media space.

We are concerned with final product, not revenue, nor the opinions of corporate sponsors.

We hold ourselves to the highest publication standards, conduct thorough preparatory research prior to any engagement in order to provide thoughtful lines of questioning.
