Our take on Real Dictators podcast

Real Dictators is a podcast that explores and analyzes the hidden lives of both the famous and infamous tyrants through history. If you have been wondering what Idi Amin's closet looked like or the kind of drinks that Muammar Gaddafi fancied, then this is the podcast to listen to. The dictators discussed in this podcast are not limited to a specific period in history; but instead, this show extensively covers tyrants that have existed since the inception of civilization. All the episodes feature different despots, but sometimes two or more might cover one particular dictator because the richness of the content demands more time.
