I'm pretty open, and not really looking for anything specific here aside from the usual "no liberal bullshit" rule. I did listen to a bit of Chapo for a hot second in 2018 but I could be persuaded to go back if theyre good.
So to that end, what are your favorite episodes of your podcast of choice?
I was looking at your seasons breakdown and thought "huh, 3 sounds good" before I read your final line. Thanks much!
Blowback is more like a series of audio documentaries. It makes every other podcast look like cumtown in comparison. The seasons do build on one another somewhat, so I'd just go from the start. Also thst way you can hear H Jon Benjamin as Saddam Hussein
I was sold before, but you just made me super excited for HJB
The first season also has a slightly different vibe than the later ones, I think because the Iraq war was so genuinely mind boggling that you can't help but laugh. There's funny moments in the later seasons but they do tend to treat the subject matter with a little more gravity imo. So if it feels too flippant in S1 you can jump ahead if you want.
But that being said I think every season is fantastic, I'm on my third or fourth relisten
