Cool Zone Media and iHeartPodcasts

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.

Behind the Bastards

Robert tells Margaret about the giant meeting the military held to tell everyone how they planned to kill the world.

Part Five: The Men Who Might Have Killed Us All

ICBMs made it possible to end the world in 15 minutes or less. Robert tells Margaret about the nightmarishly incompetent first draft of the Minuteman, a nuclear weapons system almost perfectly designed to end the world on accident.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part Four: The Men Who Might Have Killed Us All

Robert continues the harrowing story of the men who decided we should be ready to rain nuclear hellfire on everyone at a moments notice forever.
