Behind the Bastards

Not all podcast make you want to talk back at times to the caster but this one is so engaging that are many of the topics I want to discuss further and dive deeper even though Robert does do extensive research. I don’t always agree with everything presented, nor are all things fully researched from multiple viewpoints, but that is what makes it engaging and in a world where we don’t think critically much more I think this is very important.

I tried listening to this but after hearing the f-word used completely pointlessly and seemingly random about 10x in the first 30 minutes I gave up. I like using the f-word as much as the next person but it has to make sense. I feel that the hosts are using it not to make a point but simply for the sake of it. Great show otherwise but there’s really no need for swearing this much.

The host himself is kind of annoying, but the woman who interjects from time to time is just infuriating. She adds basically no insight.

And I don’t mean the subject matter. Of course all of them have awful topics. What I can’t bear is the hosts yukking it up over the tragic deaths of astronauts and young children. Unsubbing.
