Ask Ivo — on Substack Live

A new monthly feature — I will go live the first Wednesday of every month (and more frequently if events warrant — to answer your questions and reflect on your thoughts.

Starting next month, I’m adding something new to America Abroad: a live monthly session called Ask Ivo.

Here’s how it works. The first Wednesday of every month, I’ll go live on Substack for about 30 minutes to answer your questions on U.S. foreign policy, global affairs, and whatever is happening in the world. You submit questions in advance — I’ll display them on screen as I answer — and I’ll also take questions live from the chat.

The first session is Wednesday, May 6, at noon ET. Here’s the link.

Though I have done something like this when I was at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, “Ask Ivo” will be more interactive, more conversational, and more immediate. If something is breaking in the world, we can talk about it in real time.

To submit a question for the May 6 session, just leave it in the comments below. I’ll pick the ones that seem most interesting and timely, and display them during the session so everyone can follow along.

The Substack live will be open to everyone. I’ll publish the recording afterward for anyone who can’t make it.

See you May 6.
