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?
The kid had just started being the guest host and co-host on a bunch of episodes around the time I quit listening, I think it was somewhere around 2020 or maybe early 2021. Kid was a runaway from Canada if I recall correctly who was sleeping rough and doing “citizen journalism” at the protests in Portland when Evans met him and took him in. No details other than that, just seemed like a very weird situation.
