I’m about halfway done with the last season of the Revolutions podcast and up to date with Blowback. I’m probably going to be looking for another fun history podcast to listen to soon to throw into my rotation with The Dollop, to break up the pop culture, comedy, or news podcasts.
I recently listened to the Kissinger episodes of Behind the Bastards and they seemed pretty informative and funny. Also apparently it’s by some old Cracked people, and I’m a fan of all those old Cracked content creators. But the first episode says it’s about Stalin, so I’m guessing it’s like in the progressive but lib direction? I don’t mind, just want peoples thoughts on it before I decide to start or look for something else. How is it for people who have listened to it?
It’s mostly fine and I find it entertaining, but the ads are really annoying. The Marxist complaining about him always seems a little bad faith to me because it’s almost always about how he used to write for bellingcat and not about the actual content.
Their daily news show is cringe as fuck though.
