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.

Customer Reviews
Great show
Robert is an amazing host. The show is funny, thought provoking and heartbreaking. The research is impeccable and though a lifelong lover of history, looking at people and events from a different perspective and the realisation of the bits that were left out is eye opening.
Sophie could easily pivot careers to becoming a professional herder of clowders of cats 🐈❤️
Great show
I really like this show. Have been listening for years. However, Robert is probably the smartest person I’ve ever heard use the (not-)phrase “on accident” which is confusing.
Highly recommend
Great pod that gives you an education while also giving the giggles. Truly impressive considering the depressive characters covered.
