Scumbags Of History

Mother Teresa, Dr. Seuss, Gandhi. Is it possible these enlightened historical figures were total scumbags? That's what we try to decide in Scumbags of History, where we pick through the dirty underwear pile of lesser-known facts about some of the famous people society has put on a pedestal. Hosted by confirmed scumbags, comedians Brittany Schmitt and Mateen Stewart, Scumbags Of History is a thoroughly disreputable history lesson on the people you thought you knew from history. Episodes on Frank Sinatra, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, James Brown, Charlie Chaplin, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Picasso, and more figures from history, released weekly. You can find clips of the show on TikTok @wisecrackofficial or @scumbags.of.history, see full episodes on YouTube @ScumbagsOfHistory and follow Brittany (@BrittanySchmitt) and Mateen (@MateenStewart) on Instagram.
Needs tweaking, but could be great

I enjoy the concept, but I would like to hear more thorough research, and the context concerning exactly how the behavior of the subject differs from the common perceptions of them. Also, it might be interesting too stay off by establishing the popular public opinion, then jump into the well-researched skeletons in their closets. Better sound design will be helpful. Personally, I think this can be a fantastic podcast. For future subjects I'd suggest JFK(and US presidents in general), Alfred Hitchcock, and Imelda Marcos. Have you done Columbus yet?
Pretty bad

Not very good history, equally bad language, a well placed F bomb can occasionally work, but when you put tons of them in your podcast it means you have no vocabulary. The young woman had no Idea who Oppenheimer was, and this was after the movie was made! Anyway, really bad. Not worth a listen. Sorry guys go back and do some research, and spend a little time cleaning it up.
Clueless

I love history podcasts. These hosts seem to have minimal knowledge about the topics they’re discussing, often speculating about history and historical figures.
Love the idea

But it’s so terribly done. Maybe, instead of two “comedians” trade one out for an historian, or, at least, someone who seems to know anything about anything.
