EPISODE 105: Rationalizing Evil in El Salvador
This episode covers some of the things that happened in El Salvador in the 1980s, in particular the story of the massacre at El Mozote, and how policies formulated by the White House supported death squads unleashing hell on civilians.

EPISODE 104: The Saint and the Death Squads
This is a story about what happened in El Salvador in the 1970s and 1980s, and the role that democratic as well as republican administrations played in this tale. As much as humanly possible, I’ll try to let the facts speak for themselves and not inject too much of my own commentary.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant Podcast
I absolutely love this podcast. It's high quality content and super informative. Daniele's got an entertaining style of narrating without - as lots of others do - being stupid or being tryhard-funny.
I can 100% recomment this to anyone who's interested in exciting stories from history.
Wonderfully presented, thoroughly researched
Danielle narrates with passion the greatest parts of history, not to mention his Italian accent makes me laugh.
