There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

Love the show, keep it up!!
Woke except for Palestine?
Shame that you’ve not covered Netanyahu or Sharon given it’s hard to think of bigger bastards who’ve also personally got blood on their hands.
American liberals seem to just give Israel a free pass when it comes to real-time settler colonialism. What’s up with that?
Great
History, jokes and bastards. Perfect podcast
