The invasion of Iraq in 2003 constitutes the greatest crime of the 21st century. The war killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and the country plunged into a cycle of violence and misery that endures today.

Blowback is a 10-part investigation into the war. Co-hosts Brendan James and Noah Kulwin examine the decades of policies that culminated in America’s attack on Saddam Hussein's government and the aftermath of the invasion.

After a critically-acclaimed retelling of the Iraq War, season two of Blowback presents the unlikely story of the Cuban Revolution: America’s Cold War crusade brings the world to a nuclear-tipped showdown between the Kennedy brothers, Fidel Castro, the Soviet Union, the CIA, and the Mafia. Co-hosted by Brendan James and Noah Kulwin, season two is a 10-part account of how the United States tried and failed to thwart the creation of a socialist government less than a hundred miles to its south.

Season 3:

It’s both an origin story of America's anti-communist crusade and the first bloodbath of the not-so-Cold War. Season three spans the dawn of America’s empire in the Pacific, through the Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula, onto the devastating conflict that broke out in 1950. Revolutions, civil war, and a cast of characters from Kim Il-Sung to Mao Tse-tung to General Douglas MacArthur.

As a matter of fact, that war in Korea never ended. The only way to understand how, and why, is to go back to the beginning.

Season 4:

After covering the Iraq War, the Cuban Revolution, and the Korean War, in season 4 the Blowback co-hosts Brendan James and Noah Kulwin now turn to Afghanistan. Season four launches August 25. Subscribe now! Click HERE to visit the website.
