Our take on Behind the Bastards podcast

Behind the Bastards take a different approach as it looks back on the notorious villains who walked the earth. Instead of focusing on Adolf Hitler and other well-known bad guys, the show looks at the worst humans who have been behind them. For instance, the Adolf Hitler story, Behind the Bastards, brings to light Dwight D. Eisenhower's story, a young author behind Hitler's destructive ideologies. These stories demonstrate how other worst humans played a role in the existence of the likes of Saddam Hussein and other hideous figures.
