In this nine-part series Robert Evans will walk listeners through exactly how a second American Civil War could happen. Using hard facts, historical anecdotes and his own experiences reporting from two real civil wars, he’ll leave you believing it COULD happen here. Each episode reveals more of our possible future, covering the mix of protests and terrorism that might spark such a conflict and walking through how the government would try to stop it. From drone bombs assassinating police officers, to a rural insurgency starving America’s cities, everything he will talk about is backed by real-world examples and the opinions of worried experts. This is not conspiracy-mongering or a panicked shout into the abyss. This is a sober dissection of the Second American Civil War, before it happens.

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.

Most aggravating part of a podcast I actually like…..

6d ago

Saltriverjohnny

Ok, I really like the podcast. I like Robert Evans on there. His mixture of humor and absolutely terrifying reality is something that no other podcast I listen to has made as educational and informative. A+ for this. Now for the bad stuff. You ever talk to a person who not only thinks their jokes are insanely funny but cannot help but laugh at them? This is Mia Wong. Any time I see the name in the show description I gird myself to be aggravated in my listen. This person cannot finish a sentence without busting out laughing 3/4 of the way through it and therefore cutting off the thought process. In a recent episode on the 1925 Chinese General Strike, with quite serious subject matter, I thought this could be avoided. Nope. In the process of describing a government striking back at a dissatisfied public demonstrating against them, Mia had trouble finishing thoughts because they were more concerned “laughing at their own joke”. I could not finish the episode. When part of an ensemble this is somewhat tolerable, but on a solo show, it is an easy skip now. I really wanted to give a better score, and I truly do like the podcast, but even if your humor is funny, let me decide. I don’t need a person telling me when they think I should laugh. On the recent show about the prospect of the economy, Mia started laughing AT THE INTRODUCTION. Could not make it 1 sentence into the podcast without busting out their unprofessional “quirk”. From here on, if I see the name Mia Wong as a solo in the description, it is an instant delete. There could be discussion on winning lottery numbers, 1960s-era Spider-Man comics and fuzzy kittens and I’ll never know it. This is a shame and hopefully it is addressed if someone from CZM sees this review.

Hearing these two kids talk about sports and the inner-workings of the WNBA is both sad and hilarious. Seemingly, two people that have never dribbled a ball in their lives telling us how Caitlyn Clark is a racist.

Because I won’t be listening. This is an aweful show filled with social justice propaganda and opinions that defy common sense

I don’t under the Mia hate. I adore this whole team. Refreshing to see people who recognize that objectivity in journalism is a myth and do the ethical and responsible thing which is to be open about their perspectives/biases.
