Customer Reviews
Blowback release day is a highlight every year
An incredible podcast, well researched and produced- presented in a way that’s relatable and interesting.
I don't like tankies
I was recommended this podcast, but quickly realized that this is a tankie podcast. They call out every minor bad act the US has done and ignore horrible acts done by the opposition. The US will look plenty bad with an unbiased account of the facts, but they still feel the need to present a very biased take.
Has dried up
The content fills an unfortunate void in the education of most of us in the US. The research is deep and thorough. Season 1 was conversational and engaging. Season 2 on, though, feel like I’m listening to an audiobook narration of a textbook they wrote. Good information but not good podcasting.
