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.

ОБЩЕСТВО И КУЛЬТУРА
It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war. Now a daily show, it's evolved into a chronicle of collapse as it happens, and an exploration of how we might build a better future. Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.

ЕЖЕДНЕВНЫЕ НОВОСТИ
Weird Little Guys is a weekly show about the worst people you’ve never heard of, taking you beyond the headlines to get to know the race warriors and aspiring terrorists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. Weaving together the origin stories of modern American white supremacist groups and the crimes that land their members in court, independent journalist Molly Conger exposes the monsters for what they really are - some weird guy. Whether they’re conspiring to build bombs or serving swastika shaped cookies at a dinner party, the weird little guys trying to destroy America are a little less scary with their masks off.

ТРУ-КРАЙМ
As long as there’s been oppression, there’ve been people fighting it. This weekly podcast dives into history to drag up the wildest rebels, the most beautiful revolts, and all the people who long to be—and fight to be—free. It explores complex stories of resistance that offer lessons and inspiration for us today, focusing on the ensemble casts that make up each act of history. That is to say, this podcast focuses on Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff.

ИСТОРИЯ

ОБЩЕСТВО И КУЛЬТУРА
Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) is a weekly show from Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet’s main characters – one part reported, one part interviews, and one part Jamie collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it’s an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it’s the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention, and a confusing blurred line of consent. What do you do when you get more attention and judgement than any one person is built to handle? The Sixteenth Minute of Fame is the place where we figure that out, putting people in the context of the moment they've been frozen inside of.

Just let this man enjoy his gizmos
Great topics, frustrating tone

I agree wholeheartedly with the points and content of this podcast but the John Oliver style ranting is distracting and stops it from being the salve I’m looking for in these mad times.
Compelling ideas mired by uneven style

I deeply appreciate Ed’s analytical perspective and thoroughly enjoy the panels. There are a lot of interesting ideas here. Unfortunately, many episodes are delivered as scripted monologues (ie, rants), which Ed struggles to articulate. To me, these are basically unlistenable… and the pissy tone largely undermines the analysis. Love Ed, but really hoping the show will find a new editorial voice.
Recording quality needs improvement

Great show but deserves better recording quality. Sound comes off abrasive, flat, rushed (feels sped up and badly paced) and unpleasant.
