Season 1 made my very angry, but season 3 made me genuinely sick to my stomach multiple times. I was listening to it on a 9 hour drive home and had to turn it off for a bit when they started talking about napalm to avoid throwing up.

    I agree, I also wasn’t prepared for the extent of the brutality but I think it’s a must listen for history/podcast enjoyers bc it could indicate that more heinous shit is going on right now that we won’t know about for half a century

    Uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire.

    I've been enjoying it - it's so strange looking back at a country on the opposite side of the world force feeding feudalism to a nation. Now South Koreans enjoy 70 hour work weeks, but look at all the light pollution they get!

    I haven't listened to season 1 and 2 yet, how would you rank them?

    Season 2 feels great because fidel-cool survived the American machine. Obviously there's still so much fuckery, and it's horrible, but knowing that Cuba is still there did a lot to make it less depressing

    oh yeah, it feels good in ways that season 3 very much does not. Still great, every season is a 9/10 the first just has that 'knocked it out of the park out of the gate' feeling, maybe its because im 30 but I felt like season 1 had my jaw on the ground.

    It really felt like reliving through all the madness as a child but with a clearer picture. I remember so many of the media clips they played and how differently a lot of us thought about them at the time.
