Kellogg's Global Politics
Dr. Anita and Ryan Kellogg — experts in International Relations, Political Economy, and Energy— break down the international news shaping our world, with the lively debates you’d expect from two people who don’t always agree. Raised in red-state America, the Kelloggs bring a perspective sharpened by years living overseas and deep subject-matter expertise — Anita’s focus spans critical minerals, trade, and great-power competition, while Ryan applies his industry knowledge of energy markets and politics. Their conversation started in South Korea and hasn’t stopped since. Join them for sharp analysis, real disagreement, and a global view you won’t get from the usual pundits.
