TRUMP BOMBS IRAN: Ayatollahs DEAD – 60+ Brutal & Funny Regime Cartoons!
Daryl Cagle and Nik Kowsar
Caglecast Podcast 83; Mar 9, 2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFt8bH197sk
In this explosive episode of Caglecast #83 💥, dive into the escalating Trump-led US/Israel war on Iran with exiled Iranian cartoonist Nik Kowsar! Hosted by Daryl Cagle, Nik shares his harrowing experiences—from surviving Iran's infamous Evin Prison for his bold cartoons to living through the Iran-Iraq War. We explore the 2026 Iran conflict's roots, including Khamenei's assassination, nuclear ambitions, civilian casualties like the bombed girls' school, environmental devastation, and the potential for regime change or a massive refugee crisis. No holds barred: Nik critiques the Islamic Republic's repression, Trump's strategy, and nonviolent paths to democracy, all while we showcase *60+ shocking political cartoons* by the world's top editorial cartoonists roasting Trump, ayatollahs, and the horrors of war! 🎨🗳️ These brutal & funny regime cartoons are the visual highlight—slideshows run throughout the entire episode! Why Watch? • 60+ must-see political cartoons from artists like Steve Sack, Pat Bagley, and more—featuring Trump farting ayatollahs, FIFA Peace Prize satire, bombed school horrors, nuclear hypocrisy drawings, environmental disaster art, refugee crisis gags, proxy failures (Hezbollah, Quds Force, Soleimani roasts), and regime collapse satire. • Insider insights from Nik Kowsar, a geologist-turned-cartoonist targeted by the regime for 25+ years. • Timely breakdown of Iran's 2026 war: From soccer boycotts and Agent Orange echoes to nuclear fatwas and proxy failures—all paired with savage cartoon visuals.

March 29: Philharmonia Fantastique at the Kennedy Center
An adventure through the Orchestra!
NSO Family Concert
Philharmonia Fantastique:
The Making of an Orchestra
Mar. 29 at 2 p.m. | Concert Hall
Told through a mesmerizing hybrid of animated and live action filming, a magical Sprite embarks on a musical journey through the inner workings of an orchestra! Violin strings vibrate, brass valves slice air, and drumheads resonate like you've never seen before—all set to live music from the National Symphony Orchestra. By the film's end, the orchestra comes together in a spectacular finale!
Conducted by Michelle Merrill and written by former Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates, this NSO commission was co-created with Academy Award–nominated director/writer Gary Rydstrom and Academy Award–nominated animator Jim Capobianco.
Most enjoyed by ages 5+
