Blowback

I had to take back my 5 star review after listening to S4 Ep5, the Taliban did not facilitate opium production, that is an outright lie. By June of 2001 opium production was basically at 0%, and Gus’s why it skyrocketed in the years after that?? US occupation, guys need to get your facts right.

As a non continental US citizen, I find it endearing when the local reads Fanon and thinks of him/herself informed.

This show is not brand safe, full half truths and hate.

Audio cinema - dramatic, noir. Some defensively call this annual series “tankie” or “hating America”. In reality the show - now in Season 6 (Iraq, Cuba, Korea, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Angola) - makes any decent USA-ian want to projectile vomit like Adriana in Sopranos when she realizes the FBI has her dead to rights. Confronting the reality of the organized criminality of global US violence over the past century is a religious experience. This podcast series provides the music, voice, script, and ritual to make the spiritual purging as artful and enjoyable as possible. The characters and their acts are disgusting. That our world today is built on the rotting corpse that represents their body of work? Priceless. Might as well hear it told in a carefully scripted and produced piece of artistic gold. Bravo
