In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq without provocation. Most Americans
supported the war—as did most politicians and intellectuals, both liberal and
conservative. Today, it’s universally considered a disaster. Hosted by award-
winning reporter Noreen Malone, the fifth season of Slow Burn explores the
people and ideas that propelled the country into the Iraq war, and the
institutions that failed to stop it. How did the Iraq catastrophe happen? And
what was it like to watch America make one of its most consequential mistakes?
Slow Burn Season 5 is hosted by Noreen Malone. Formerly, she was the editorial
director of New York Magazine, and a host of Slate’s “The Waves.” Her magazine
reporting has earned a George Polk Award. The season begins on Wednesday,
April 21st. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
