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.

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.

How did American police get so violent? The answer to that question goes back centuries, to the earliest days of this nation. On this special podcast miniseries hosts Robert Evans and rap artist Propaganda (Jason Petty) draw a straight line from the darkest days of slavery, to the murder of George Floyd and the mass violence American police meted out to their citizens this summer.

In this limited series, Jamie Loftus investigates and interrogates American spiritualism, a century-old tradition of communing with the dead that takes place in camps full of mediums across the country. Who is drawn to these camps, how did the religion come together, and why are the tarot card readers and the seance-havers fighting? Ghost Church is a look at grief, religion, and loneliness, with on-site reporting and interviews with everyone from spiritualist psychics to Protestant pastors to a very lonely carnival employee.

These are...not optimistic times for most Americans. Across the world, the dangers of climate change and the terror of creeping authoritarianism present an increasing danger to all of us. After covering this degeneration for four years, Robert Evans went looking for hope. He found it in the unlikeliest of places: Northeast Syria, in a region known as Rojava that’s become host to a feminist, anti-authoritarian revolution.When you’ve heard about these folks in the mainstream media, they’re usually just described as the “Syrian Kurds”, and credited with beating ISIS. They did, in fact, beat ISIS. But their military successes were just part of the story. In The Women’s War, Robert will introduce listeners to dozens of men and women fighting a war for the future of the human soul.

WHAT HAPPENED TO RUSSIA'S DEAD OLIGARCHS? Since January 2022, more than 12 of Russia's wealthiest oligarchs have been found dead. One was poisoned with frog venom. One was found hanged on a handrail with his wife and children killed with an axe. Several fell out of high windows. All of the deaths are suspicious. Russia says most of them were coincidental suicides--that the oligarchs were simply depressed. I don't think so. Sad Oligarch is a modern true crime style investigative podcast series that looks into each Russian oligarch death in 2022/2023, unravelling a dark tale of Kremlin corruption and Russian political influence across the world.

Fantastic but please remove it could happen here from the feed.

Title says it all, I don’t have much interest in it could happen here, particularly not all grouped up together into a giant block. Main episodes are great though. Keep it up.
Great Podcast

This is my favorite podcast—especially now in these crazy times. But Robert says “right” too much…he’s way too good to say this often as he does.
One of my favorites

I love BTB. I learn AND laugh a lot. Reading these reviews is always hysterical with the exception of Sophie haters… her keeping Robert from completely losing his job is my favorite dynamics of the podcast that always makes me laugh. Sophie is AMAZING, and I particularly love the episodes where she is more in the conversation. I’m always bummed when Sophie isn’t there. The Sophie shade is just misogynistic BS— if you’re mean to Sophie, then you risk becoming the target of my fury . However the “BoO tHiS pOdCaSt HaS a LeFt BiAs”… reviews are hysterically ridiculous….ok… most mainstream media and history is biased to the right. If you want more of the same old whitewashed version of history, this podcast isn’t for you. You are allowed to be boring— The rest of us will be here having fun cursing, atonally screeching, and working on our Boston accents.
Love it, love Sophie

Love the show and the other reviewers are dead wrong misogynists for going after Sophie. She’s funny and she brings levity and I’m not sure I’d like the show so much without her
I love it

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.
Here for the Producer

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…
Great overall, one complaint

Love it overall, but Sophie’s interjections are not a great fit for the rest of the show. She brings down the vibe
Super Annoying

I tried the Jack Parsons episode and, between the conjured extreme sarcasm and maniacal laughter over nothing, I just had to turn it off despite being very interested in the topic. Look elsewhere.
