Tyler Cowen recorded a podcast with Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer, mostly on geopolitics, with a transcript available.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
What would count as true or false
True: a podcast episode (e.g. Conversations with Tyler or another show) exists, dated on or before 2026-02-22, in which Tyler Cowen talks with both Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer, mainly about geopolitics or foreign policy, and a transcript is published. Mostly true: the episode with both guests exists but a minor detail is off, for example the transcript was posted slightly later or the main topic is foreign policy described in other terms. Mixed: the episode exists but only one of the two named guests took part. Mostly false: Cowen took part in a related conversation with them in another format (such as a live event with no podcast release). False: no such recording with these guests exists, or the evidence shows it was with other people.

Reasoning
The Long Game is the podcast hosted by Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer, and its episode page says both hosts sat down with Tyler Cowen for a wide-angle conversation about the forces reshaping geopolitics and the balance of power (E2). A transcript of that episode was published dated February 19, 2026, which is before the claim date (E1). A third-party podcast listing confirms the hosts, the guest and the date (E3).
