On this week’s episode of Lever Time, David Sirota is joined by Brendan James and Noah Kulwin, producers and hosts of the wildly popular historical narrative podcast Blowback. Their new season covers the history of foreign intervention in Afghanistan and both the intentional and unintentional blowback from those efforts. 

“Blowback” refers to an old CIA term meaning, “the unforeseen and unwanted effects, or repercussions to one’s actions.” In Blowback, Brendan and Noah report on the history of America’s foreign policy and interventions — including its efforts related to the various wars in Iraq, the Cuban Revolution, and the Korean War. 

David speaks with Brendan and Noah about their new season, which goes into painstaking detail about Afghanistan, a country that has arguably suffered more modern foreign interventions than any other place on Earth. They cover Soviet interventions in the country in the 1970s and ’80s, the U.S.-backed rise of the Mujahideen, the September 11 World Trade Center attacks, and the subsequent U.S. invasion and war, which lasted over two decades.

Season two of Podcast Book Club is on its way! Whilst the Lower Street team gets it ready, here’s a bonus episode in the form of a pilot. This was back when the gang of podcasting pros was first being assembled and, as such, their audio isn’t as crispy as it is now. Their first podcast review? Blowback, a podcast about American imperial misadventures.

The first series of Blowback is about the Iraq war and all of the wild events surrounding it. From British imperialism to CIA intervention, to the full-scale wars between the US, its allies, and Iraq, this series is a dizzying catalog of failures, tragedies, and incompetence.

The Podcast Book Club team sat down to discuss editing in podcast production, using external clips and media in your podcast, and the joy of the History Channel.

This episode is hosted by senior audio engineer Alex Bennett, who is joined by senior podcast producer Jackie Lamport, and podcast producer Elise Fitzsimmons.
