It's a great podcast. I've re-listened to the Joseph Mengele one 3 times.
Queuing that one up, thanks.
Just a word of warning: if a co-worker, roommate, or family member asks why you are giggling to yourself, replying "Oh I'm just listening to a podcast about Joseph Mengele" lacks KEY CONTEXT about the podcast.
One of my favourites. You can find many of their podcasts on their youtube channel ad free a little after its podcast release (at least, the video itself doesn't have ads, it's up to you to block YouTube's): https://www.youtube.com/@BehindTheBastards
Love BtB and Cool Zone Media in general, especially that they post their references on their website.
This is one of my favorite podcasts, highly recommended.
My favorite series of theirs: Vince McMahon (May 15, 2023), the Moonies (Mar 8, 2022), and Bobby Fisher (Feb 14, 2023).
Who would have thought that vince would be the longest running series
My recommendation for first listeners is John McAfee. Those episodes are so off the wall.
Or the Tiger king one!
The recent episodes on G. Gordon Liddy are pretty good too.
I love the sheer glee in his voice when he gets to talk about libertarians. I highly recommend his podcasts on Crypto, the Libertarian Sea Nations, and the Titan Sub. He also really understands deep internet lore and does a really good job explaining it in a way for people not as familiar with the topics. Case and point, I found the episode with the founder of 8-chan to be extremely informative and a great nuanced discussion on the value of free speech and the limits. Anything with Billy Wade Davies is a treat too.
I think he overdoes the side bits, but I can ffw when that happens. I’ve learned a hell of a lot from this show. But sometimes, god, shut up and get back to the main content.
It's definitely more personality-driven, so if you're not into Robert or his humor style, it can impact your enjoyment. Like for me, his bits almost always land so I really like when he gets sidetracked.
I mostly don't mind, but sometimes. Similar complaint about the guys at Last Podcast on the Left. Sometimes, just stop and get back on the road. But it's mostly fine.
I've been a long time listener, but increasingly dislike Robert. He has some great guests on. I've found some other podcasts thanks to him.
The Henry Kissinger series was incredible.
I've been listening for a while. I'm listening chronologically, so I think I'm around April 2019 or so right now. With the demise of Google podcasts, is there a better choice for Android apps?
Podcast Addict is my preference.
I reccomend antennapod
Their leftism is sometimes pretty damned blatant. But I can let those parts go, since the overall vibe is awesome.
That's a positive for me.
