One of my friends introduced me to Behind the Bastards! She was telling me about the Nicolae Ceaușescu episodes and I decided to give it a listen. I ended up really loving it (obviously), and I've been a regular listener since. It's a super accessible springboard into convoluted historical and political topics, and I highly recommend it. The guests brought onto the show make each series unique, and Evans knows exactly how to blend humour, ridicule, and grim fact to make for an entertainingly informative hour.

One thing that makes me laugh is that there's be a lot of reviews claiming BtB is biased or downright full of lies because Evans is pretty openly and obviously a leftist. One memorable review said that the show should be sued for calling Ben Shapiro a racist (?!). It always struck me as silly given that he's written a book called "After the Revolution" and hosts It Could Happen Here, the latter of which is best listened to rather than explained. Anyway, it's a great show for anyone, especially if you have an interest in history.
