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.

First Oprah episode gets pretty weird for abuse victims just FYI
-4 j
Incredibly interesting episode, but honestly triggering for those of us who went through pretty extreme/extensive abuse throughout childhood. Obv not gonna trauma dump here lol, but Andrew questioning the legitimacy of memories when you’re six -and *especially* Robert’s little quip at the end about how the past is “a fantasy/fiction novel that you’ve been writing your whole life without even knowing it”- are particularly (inadvertently) clumsy…especially when the nature of your abuse forces you to avoid/invalidate that it was bad for the *vast* majority of your life, until you get into therapy and discover just how bad it actually was (despite the fact that you have so many external sources, like court records/dates/witnesses/etc who validate just how early those memories actually were lol). To anyone who’s listening to this ep and questioning the legitimacy of your own abuse (or questioning if maybe it *was* actually abuse and not normal 😅), please look into a therapist who specializes in trauma. It was life-changing for me (especially to realize that I was living most of my life with pretty major PTSD that inhibits every aspect of my life due to just how bad it actually was lol). Also, it’s incredibly common for abusers and victims of abuse themselves to refuse to believe when others have been abused. I believe there can be inconsistencies in her recollections, but this doesn’t negate that the visceral/sensory aspect of truly traumatic memories due tend to be *very real* and it’s pretty rare to just completely fabricate them lol. It would have been particularly interesting had he looked into research on traumatic memory in children, especially those of us who “Ace the ACE test” 😂 and have external sources validating this. Excited for part 2, though!

Love the podcast. I know my opinion isn’t as good as yours but I’d love to hear an episode with Josh Johnson as guest.
Should’ve gotten Prop

I usually listen to this podcast to learn so that why I tuned into the Diddy episodes. There are really two Americas. Idk if it was the mispronouncing of Jodeci or the guest calling Faith Evan’s Faith Hill but yall should’ve gotten Prop for the Diddy episodes. The guest was so wrong with a lot of info. Anyways, the show is amazing but I don’t think yall should cover anything else Hip Hop related 😂
7 minutes of ads

Last straw for me. The show itself is barely tolerable with pompous Portland Robert. But 7 minutes of ads before I even hear a word of podcast is ridiculous. And don’t give me a lesson on how these podcasts are paid for. I get it. But you aren’t Lex Fridman.
