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.

Love this podcast, but…

Just awesome. Had to do 4 stars because I have no idea why Sophie involves herself in the conversation. She never says anything funny or intelligent, it’s behind annoying. Other than that, 10/10.

Love the podcast

I enjoy both the humor and pragmatism of the podcast. Also Sophie and Anderson are great.
