Speaking of the Discord, listeners have formed a book club that sends the following message:

"PrestigeHeads are organizing a book club for AP subscribers around military historian Donald Stoker’s 2024 book Purpose and Power: U.S. Grand Strategy from the Revolutionary Era to the Present. It will likely be a critical reading given Stoker’s affiliations and ideology, but the book should provide ample fodder for discussion. The plan is to read at most 50 pages a week and have ongoing discussions on the AP Discord for each chapter. We have people on board to read the introduction and first chapter by Friday, December 6th."
