Blowback

No exaggeration. Started with S3 when I was a baby leftist wannabe. Blew my mind. Completely changed my perspective on the world. I moved on to S2, found myself enamored with learning more about Cuba, and then found myself in Cuba a year later. Now I do an annual listening club with my friends and dedicate myself to organizing with lessons from the show at top of mind. Blowback has been one of the most valuable pieces of media for me as far as relearning and rethinking the world and history.

This show is incredible! Well researched and planned to make highly complicated and complex topics more understandable. They helped me hear the rhymes of history through several decades of historical events. Great job guys! Can’t wait for the new season.

Love the show. I’m on season 4 and am hooked. Long story short America is one messed up place. So many wars that didn’t have to happen or could’ve been stopped with diplomatic measures but weren’t. The downfall we’re in now seems to be deserved

One need only study a very little bit of history to know that wars simply do not happen purely to right moral wrongs. My only disappointment is how opinionated this podcast is. It barely seeks to put forward a truly historical account, and there is almost no geopolitical context. Seems to advance the narrative that America is bad, plain and simple. Kind of a boring angle to take, and not balanced in any way. Otherwise, interesting podcast.
