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

Only thing I wish was different was that there wasn’t a weekly “It Could Happen Here” episode. I like having BHTB on auto-download and binging one after another during long commutes but no matter how many times I delete TCHH, new ones get into the queue.

Nice

Horrible editing. I love the show but the editing is flabbergasting with how poorly it’s done every time. *******update with example******** episode posted on Tuesday, may 23, with 2 minutes 38 seconds left the audio skips back several minutes and the end of the episode is cut off. Great job guys.
LOL UPDATE
Episode posted on may 25th, at the 1 hour 15 mark, Robert plays a clip, that doesn’t play for the listener. Just blank space for a minute. Good job 👏 keep up the good work editing, love getting into a series and not be able to understand the last 15 minutes.

To many jokes

I came to listen to the Vince episodes. There is too much chatter and joking. The main host laughs at his own jokes when no one else does. Maybe it’s a missing issue. He seems to be louder than everyone else and his laugh drowns out anything they might be saying.
