Behind the Bastards
Ad free and exclusive episodes from all our shows

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.

Fascinating subject - guest needs to stop talking so Robert actually can
Sep 24
This guest on the episode about wilderness camps needs to be told that we aren’t interested in her life story. Robert and Sophie are great.
Delightfully disturbing

As an American expat, Robert’s sense of humor is a source of tremendous glee. The ripest sort of education—and where are the baddies came from is crucially relevant to being a responsible citizen. The only thing I don’t like about this podcast is Sophie’s commentary, which always lowers the level of the discourse.
PRONUNCIATION KEY
3 days ago
Please double check pronunciations of names and towns. It’s more professional and very IMPORTANT to get it correct when trying to explain/teach history to people. Im on the verge of not being able to listen anymore because it’s so annoying
Right? Right?
Sep 26
Please stop saying right after every other sentence. I love the topics and discussion but can’t listen to it anymore.
