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.

HISTORY

Mixed feelings about this

1d ago

I find James, Garrison and Robert incredibly compelling on their appraisals of the news and current issues. I appreciate their perspective which leans a bit further to the left than mine and I’ve learned a lot from them. Having said that, for the love of God can someone coach Mia on their laugh and tone switching ? it’s extremely annoying. There’s a lady that sometimes joins the pod and I’m not sure what her contributions to the discussions are.
The pain of laughter

I enjoy the subject matter, the topics, the banter—so, thank you for that. However, the laughter of Mia can be painful to my sensitive ears. It actually hurts. Don’t stop laughing or having a good time, but consider leaning away from the mic when doing so? I don’t know. I don’t work in broadcasting.
IT IS* Happening Here is the only note

Brilliant and terrifying. Listener from NZ here. Only note is that ‘Could’ is a little misleading. How hot does the pot have to get before Americans realize the pot turned red hot and fascist long ago? 🐸 ps - laugh on Mia 🫶🏼 it’s a necessary breath of fresh while contemplating the fall of Rome. Get out while you can!
No more good hosts

What happened to having talent before given a microphone? This guy sounds like he is about to orgasm on air. I dunnooo why not edit in post and prepare before hand? Are we just unprofessional in our post-literate world? This generation sucks. Bring back Robert Evans.
