I’ll be on NPR’s All Things Considered on Tuesday, talking about the military’s doomed efforts to build a universal radio called the Joint Tactical Radio System.
The show will coincide with publication of my first investigative feature for the Center for Public Integrity. More on that later.

Sorry I meant to say £2.7 BILLION not £2.70 pence.
