I already paid for my subscription, but only one episode is showing.
I just finished the latest episode of "Blowback," and once again, I'm blown away by the depth and clarity of the analysis. The way the hosts dissect complex geopolitical issues and their impact on global affairs is truly impressive. https://castbox.fm/episode/Sustainable-Packaging-Balancing-Eco-Friendliness-and-Functionality-id6236500-id723215605?country=us
yall were recommended by Madeline pendleton on tictok! looking forward to getting caught up!
lol, that stupid Polack.
I bet Condy was fine as hell in college.
Season 4 was awesome. The best yet.
really difficult to follow.
David Brooks and Thomas Friedman should literally be in prison.
Dissent is still garbage as evidenced by their collaborative endeavors with the Know Your Enemy libs, among other things.
dude, i would beat the absolute shit out of someone if they tried to stoploss me.
"latinx" lol. Also, Black August was a blatant fucking op and the rappers involved were dimwits.
the internment camps in north Korea was built by American backed fascist. I'm not surprised
Kinda lost interest in even listening to this one once you said you have the rest behind a paywall.
It's a shame that this podcast seems intent on being melodramatic counter-propaganda. I wonder if its producers think it conveys any version of the truth or that it's merely a counterbalance to other lies.
This seemed like the least-reasonable, most propagandistic episode of the series. It's so bad, it greatly erodes the credibility of the podcast as a whole.
Very unfortunate audio quality on the phone interviews. Really hope you guys can improve it in the future.
@1:11:29: Broken audio? Botched cut? This section seems to make no sense.
@1:00:37: Strange that when you say, "least of all," you almost always seem to intend the opposite of what that phrase means.
Very unfortunate audio quality in some of the interviews.
The relentless cut-ins of uncited memes, movie-clips, etc. come across as childish attempts at inside jokes to signal that you're cool. Cut the puerile crap and just report.
