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.

Love the show

I have loved the shows on Mussolini and right now, Crass. One note I have is that there is a goya commercial. Not sure if this is part of an ad package, but wondering if we’re still not anti-goya?
So good!

I love the podcast, so much good history and I always learn surprising facts! Plus Margaret is a great host and writer. Absolutely loving the CZM Book Club Dino Wars series! I have laughed and cried, and love the pointed advice. Great job! ❤️
Loving the Punk/music episodes

I have listened to this show on and off since it started, depending on how much podcast time I had, but lately it’s become a must-listen. The episodes on Chumbawamba and Crass were absolutely fantastic. Not only were they interesting in content, but hearing Margaret’s take as someone actually in the music and anarchist scene is really valuable. Her guests are always well chosen as well. Margaret is so endearing as a host- and she is quickly becoming a hero of mine. Love this show! 💚
Amazing show

I listen to a lot of CZM content and this show is my favorite among them. I used to read Historical YA Fiction in my youth and enjoy a good history podcast. Margaret introduces listeners to often obscured historical figures in dark points from all over the world. Whether the person lives to see their efforts succeed or don’t, I feel hopeful about humanity through all of her podcasts.
