Independent
The Downlink Podcast covers space, the space business, and defense. It is a member of the Defense & Aerospace Report’s family of podcasts covering national security and the defense industry. We serve unvarnished and critical takes with world-class expert guests, and most importantly, with context.
Not just what’s over the horizon… But what’s happening above it!
Weight-class
The DownLink Podcast and the entire Defense & Aerospace Report team number under 10 people, yet we’re award-winning. The DownLink Podcast has been honored with a 2023 and a 2024 Defense Media Award. This podcast punches above it weight because it has been named as a finalist alongside Reuters, POLITICO, Foreign Policy, Jane’s International Defense Review, and Aviation Week, twice coming out on top.

While it doesn’t hurt to be a space and defense nerd, this podcast is for all who have an interest in space, the space business, and defense. Acronyms and lingo are used, but always explained.
Your Host… That’s me, Laura Winter
I was an award-winning journalist before joining the Defense & Aerospace Report. I am now the Editor and Host of The DownLink Podcast.
I have lived in and reported from eight countries on three continents, including seven years in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, and nine years in Afghanistan and Iraq. In my war-reporting years my work was made possible by space systems, something I never forget.
This podcast is like coming full circle because the very first beat I ever had as a reporter was covering the city of La Cañada Flintridge, which included NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, for the Glendale News-Press.
