This Guy Sucked is a history podcast that brings on historians (and Chuck) as guests, and discuss historical figures that sucked! We're discussing the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency — an objectively detestable bunch of union busting thugs who terrorized workers in Appalachia during the mine wars in the early 1900s.  They sucked big time.  They're available on all streaming platforms, and you can find their links via their website below.   https://www.thisguysucked.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-guy-sucked/id1800530353 ----------------------------------------------- HELP SUPPORT APPODLACHIA!  patreon.com/appodlachia ----------------------------------------------- The views and opinions expressed on this show are the personal opinions of the host, Chuck Corra, and do not represent the opinions of his employer.
