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.

It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war. 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.

Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) is a weekly show from Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet’s main characters – one part reported, one part interviews, and one part Jamie collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it’s an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it’s the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention, and a confusing blurred line of consent. What do you do when you get more attention and judgement than any one person is built to handle? The Sixteenth Minute of Fame is the place where we figure that out, putting people in the context of the moment they've been frozen inside of.

Weird Little Guys is a weekly show about the worst people you’ve never heard of, taking you beyond the headlines to get to know the race warriors and aspiring terrorists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. Weaving together the origin stories of modern American white supremacist groups and the crimes that land their members in court, independent journalist Molly Conger exposes the monsters for what they really are - some weird guy. Whether they’re conspiring to build bombs or serving swastika shaped cookies at a dinner party, the weird little guys trying to destroy America are a little less scary with their masks off.

✨complex feelings ✨ about this show. I’ve come around to liking Robert, but after a lot of listening, I really don’t feel that Sophie’s commentary is a good fit for the show. I’m sure she’s a good producer and it sounds like she brings in great guests and topics, but the random interjections are almost never about the topic at hand and the jokes fall flat. I’ve really hesitated on this because I know women get a lot of unfair criticism about their voices, etc, but I really can’t stand the talking over hosts/guests to interject something that doesn’t really contribute to the discussion, just detracts from it. Other than that, I really do enjoy the show, the topics, and all the research that goes on behind the scenes.
So good, it can make me run.

I hate running. So much. But I have to make weight for a sport. This podcast is the only thing that does not make me want to jump in-front of a bus while I force myself to run. I’ve been listening for 5 years and I love following up on sources & doing my own deep dives when I’m particularly interested in something. A fantastic gateway into learning more about history.

By way of Bechdel Cast and hunting Sophie’s awesome work I found this podcast. I got started with the Gordo Liddy episodes of Behind the Batards and haven’t turned away since. I can testify as an exvangelical millennial from TX, it hits a chord of interest.
Tony Alamo and Porter Wagoner

Loved the Tony Alamo episodes, not only was he featured on the GOO but he and Susan also appeared on The Porter Wagoner show (another totally creep and bastard !). Isn’t the worst of the worst but would love to see you cover particularly creepy country musicians…
