    74: Idi Amin

    74: Idi Amin

    The man in our lesson today, Idi Amin, wasn’t only a rotten dictator; he was a literal cannibal, and one of his favorite ways to have his enemies killed was with a hammer to the head. 
    Sadly to say, the hammer was one of the more merciful ways Idi had people murdered. Which I can’t even wrap my head around. 
    Let’s peer into his mysterious life and see all the rotten things that this horrible man did to those around him.

Rotten good time

This podcast is everything if you’re into creepy history. I’ve learned so much while laughing and having the best time with the host feeling more like a bestie than a podcast host! Great show and I can’t wait for more.

Great podcast!

Josh covers very difficult topics with great sensitivity and a bit of humor. I have learned so much, but can only listen to one episode and then need to move on to lighter topics. But, we need to remember these horrible people and the terrible things they did, even if it makes us uncomfortable. So, thank you Josh! Appreciate you and the lessons you bring to us!
