Description

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.

Robert is funny and knowledgeable. I feel the need to mention that the 4 Robert E Lee episodes contained too much Prop. His analogies are laborious at...

Podcasts guest constant interruptions
I love this podcast, the Lee series was excellent. The guest interruptions are BRUTAL though.

Similarly to the feedback of others…the guests rarely add anything notable to the discussion. I’d much rather just have the main host. More often than...

Cringe
Some great info but the forced humor is so cringey I can’t take it.

Please no more Prop. I wanted to learn about Robert E. Lee.
Brown Seed 2024/02/14
