It's quite interesting how Blowback's tone changed from Season 1 to Season 2 and Season 3 (hexbear.net)

I mean, I understand the need for a more darker, serious et professional tone, so to speak, in Season 2 and Season 3 (Since it's the history of Cuba et DPRK that we're talking about, who've been terrorized by the U.S.A)

But that makes me all the more excited just wondering what's to come when listening to them talk about Afghanistan in Season 4, since I'm wondering if they'll talk about it in a more lighter or darker tone...

They've been serious since season 2 and that's how it's gonna be. I don't mind, they do it once a year and do a lot of work and are taken pretty seriously, it's better they don't undermine themselves.

Sorry, I think I've got ahead of myself... I just thought that the tone of their podcast on the Iraq War would apply somewhat to Afghanistan, albeit a bit more bleaker...

Season 1 was almost like the first season of The Simpsons, it was finding itself a bit. I do miss the irreverence a bit and Jon Benjamin as Saddam is inspired. I think that's them coming from the chapo zone and starting with that sort of vibe but it then got good reviews, it was super well researched and it was taken seriously by serious people. I think there was a conscious choice to go more in that direction.
