Behind the Bastards Cool Zone Media

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.

Customer Reviews
I docked you a star…
…because Robert’s Boston accent was so bad. I’ve never wanted to punch a person through my phone before but here we are. Btw your Andrew Taint episodes were fantastic.
Bad people, good podcast
To be clear, the people RUNNING the podcast are fine people, but the people COVERED on the podcast are bad people
Love this show
Amazing pod, horrible subjects
