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.

TECHNOLOGY

Now a daily show, it's evolved into a chronicle of collapse as it happens, and an exploration of how we might build a better future. Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.

HISTORY
RICH RUSSIANS KEEP DYING IN MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES Since January 2022, dozens of Russia's wealthiest oligarchs and power brokers have died suddenly. One was poisoned with frog venom. Two killed their whole families. Several fell out of high windows. Most of the deaths are suspicious. Russia says they're coincidental suicides—that the deceased were simply depressed. We don't think so...Sad Oligarch is an investigative podcast series that looks into the strange deaths of the Russian elite, unravelling a dark tale of Kremlin corruption and Putin's political dictatorship across the world. This is season two—Russian oligarchs are still dying and things have gotten even weirder...

Molly really gets into the thick of it. She’s been so helpful in providing context on events and group that I’ve never had the bandwidth to dive too deep into without seriously compromising my ability to function normally. She’s doing the lords work, lol so to speak 💕
a singular talent

I listen to this podcast every week as soon as it hits my feed (wednesday nights at 9pm for us lucky west coasters), because I am ALWAYS ready to go down the rabbit hole with molly. her research skills are unparalleled, and her expertise in the extremist internet makes her the perfect guide into these disturbing but interconnected underworlds. I am always astonished by how she connects dots (or red strings…) and makes history feel like a suspense plot. she has the perfect podcast voice, her digressions are always *fascinating*, and I think she solved a few open crimes in the course of the monica huggett-stone episodes? listen!!!

This is a compelling podcast undermined by three 5 minute ad breaks on each episode I've listened to. The format of suspenseful music and conversational tone is dissonant with the loud, varied radio-style ads.

The best research, great, entertaining presentation. So refreshing in these dark times to have Molly Conger reducing the predecessors of today’s white supremacists to weird little guys.
