by Thomas J. Ciotola
#GetNuanced with TJC is an American independent media program that is as passionate as much about politics as it is about history. This podcast seeks to be as much of a home for meaningful discussions as it is a forum that is conducive to promoting critical analysis of current events, with a keen emphasis on international relations & U.S. politics as well as the broader historical context which is all too often relegated as a matter that is "behind the scenes."The ultimate goal of the show is to tackle the most pressing domestic & foreign policy matters that shape the nature of our times.
