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.

Zombiejaybo ,

An otherwise fine podcast with meh guests

Been a fan of Robert all the way back to the Cracked days and I enjoy the show but it’s very hit or miss when it comes to guests. Some of the guests are fine (swaim, loftus, Margaret, Tom Reitman, and a few others) but OMG some of the guests add nothing to the show, quite the opposite.

Obsessed.

Love this pod. Well researched, and great deep dives. Surprisingly, this show about the worst people in history isn’t just fascinating, it’s hilarious! I cackle out loud while listening in public and in my car. Can’t recommend it enough.

I have never heard so much blithering nonsense in my life

Main host just wants to hear himself speak. It is so excessive and unnecessary and unpleasant. I’m unsubscribing.
