Behind the Bastards Cool Zone Media

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
Very informative and well researched
I have learned so incredibly much about awful people and institutions from this podcast. From the horrific roots of American policing to the devastating impact of the satanic panic. Especially the episodes about historical insurrections were chilling, considering the similarities with our days.
My only objection is that the folks on this podcast are laughing out loud about stuff, while I wonder what the joke is or why it is funny - I guess I just have a preference for different humor, but it can be a bit annoying sometimes.
Just okay
When they started ripping some current YouTubers it was obvious they’ve never watched a single episode of those specific YouTubers. Used to enjoy the other episodes but it made me wonder who much else of their stuff was ill informed and not researched at all.
I absolutely love this podcast
I already knew some of the bad stuff people did but this podcast really blew my mind.
