The Siberian Heart Attack

Deep in the Siberian peninsula, a corrupt politician falls out of the window of his home and hits the ground hard. Eyewitnesses describe the scene, explaining how he plummeted to the concrete and died. By the time the news hits the government controlled media though, something has changed. The fall is now reported as a heart attack and the coroner declares no foul play before the body is even cold. Something doesn't add up...

A Family Annihilation in Moscow

On March 23rd 2022, affluent Russian businessman Vasily Melnikov was found dead alongside his family in their upscale Moscow apartment.

It's a Russian Special Forces combat knife... In this episode we investigate the Melnikov family annihilation. Did Vasily kill his whole family as the Russian police claim, or is something else going on?

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.

Very informative, and consequently creepy. The stories of employee mistreatment seem shocking but believable. I understand that much of the source material is interviews with anonymous employees, but my one complaint is I would like to see a source list so I can talk more convincingly to people who aren’t as aware of Amazon’s issues.
Please. The ads. PLEASE JAKE

There’s gotta be something, like can we turn the ad frequency down by 1%?? Release this on cd? Send you money in an envelope and get a flash drive back??

Welcome to the American employment system. Points for calling off sick but the told “don’t come in sick because you don’t want to spread anything.” It’s the same when you work in the healthcare system in the U. S.. imagine, being a healthcare worker but being penalized if you call off sick?!
