My personal favourite is Beautiful/Anonymous. Tell me yours.
Behind the Bastards!
Do you know who else listened to Behind the Bastards?
…the products and services that support this podcast🤷♂️
I love listening to behind the bastards on blue aprons child hunting island.
I love his segues.
I hope I spelled that right, it looks really wrong to me for some reason.
Came here to say this. I feel like everyone can benefit from listening to BtB
You know who else could benefit from listening to Behind the Bastards.
The products and services that support this comment.
Actually, nevermind, that would be too good of an ad transition.
Besides, they’re all busy on the island where censored hunts children for sport.
Definitely don’t binge it tho, it can be a lot.
+1 for Behind the Bastards. Robert Evans might be one of the few leftists around these days that I can tolerate to listen to for more than 5 minutes.
I tried it but wound up feeling the same way I do about the many nazi shows they used to play on History channel. I understand we should be wary of the villains of our past, but devoting hours of time laughing and talking about them seems disingenuous to the many many others who suffered from their actions.
I’m a big fan of No Such Thing as a Fish.
It’s a bunch of researchers for a funny British panel show (QI) talking about their favorite fact they’ve discovered that week.
One of my favorites.
My three favorite podcasts gotta be,
- Behind the Bastards - They basically pick a “bastard” from history talk about them.
- Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History - Explainers about interesting (and often, grim) historical events in great detail.
- A Podcast of Unnecessary Detail - Three fellow nerds talk about nerd stuff.
I wish Behind The Bastards would be in another format. Just can’t stand that style of podcasting
I honestly really like it. Their casual humor brings balance to the otherwise dark content of the podcast.
You know what doesn’t bring balance to the otherwise dark content of the podcast?
Products and services, ofc.
Yeah, they talk about some FUCKED UP stuff on there. I’m glad Robert, Sophie, and guest(s) can joke a bit about things between some of the atrocities.
The Dollap - comedic American history podcast
Behind the Bastards - Robert Evans’ exposes some real rotten people with guests
Bill Burr - I just really like his weekly podcast even though I have no interest in sports
Knowledge Fight - this has been a hilarious/scary journey of 2 dudes reviewing Alex Jones Infowars since 2016
Love Bill Burr - his podcast is the reason I got into listening and enjoying podcasts back in the day!
Some sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
I RENOUNCE JESUS CHRIST!
If you’re someone who likes these you’ll probably like This Past Weekend with Theo Von. He’s usually got really good guests, and his energy is different than his stand up. I’ve really enjoyed listening.
Thanks for the rec! Will check it out
My favorites:
- Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History
- Behind the Bastards
- Radiolab
- Stuff you should know
- The Rest is History
- Nature Podcast
I never see this mentioned but Darknet Diaries is actually a really informative and entertaining podcast about hacking, the dark web, physical penetration testing (gone wrong), nation-state cyber attacks.
Yeah, I know little of IT (as I’m a mech engineer, in construction) but find the story telling to be so good it’s one of my favorite podcasts.

Climate Denier’s Playbook is great. After enjoying Rollie’s YouTube stuff for so long it’s nice to see it translates well with bouncing off someone instead of just monologuing.
Opening arguments is also a good legal/political podcast for fans of 5-4

I’m a big fan of the following:
Maintenance Phase: discusses health/diet fads and scams
You’re Wrong About: debunking the popular (but misinformed) narratives surrounding many well-known events of the past
Underunderstood: going down the rabbit hole of strange “ungoogle-able” questions (this one really fills the void Reply All left behind)
Darknet Diaries: super riveting cybersecurity (or just general security) stories
Also can really recommend darknet diaries.
Gonna check out the others you have listed.
DarknetDiaries
It’s the podcast I’m listening to right now. If you’re interested in It you have to listen to it. The storytelling is just soo good. I really recommend the Episodes “Xbox Underground” and “Operation Bayonet”
Most episodes aren’t actually about the dark Web and are instead about Cybersecurity.
Jack is the man. This is literally the only podcast I’ve ever listened to.
You may also like Hacking Humans and Malicious Life.
Well, there’s your problem. A podcast about engineering disasters, with slides.
Which is, itself, a disaster.
It’s actually a podcast about leftist takes on the news, and then they go into an engineering disaster after.
They know the audience is split on the additional content, and they don’t care. Or they do care, and they land on the side of “we’re doing it anyway”.
Darknetdiaries the name sounds pretty cringe but it is a really good podcast about digital crime.

I haven’t seen anybody else suggest it but “99% invisible” is one of my favorites.
I like video games, goofy stuff, and tech. So lately, it’s been:
- My Brother, My Brother, and Me
- Noclip
- Besties
- We Have Concerns
- Search Engine (New podcast from PJ Vogt of Reply All fame - if you haven’t listened to Reply All, there are a number of great episodes to enjoy)
- How Did This Get Made
- and occasionally Swindled (my girlfriend likes true crime stuff and this is about as close as I like to get to that)
Dungeons and Daddies, Behind the Bastards, and the Always Sunny podcast. To a lesser extent, “that happens.”
Upvote for an actual play to try out. I’ll happily add:
Redemption (a star wars podcast, just changed their name to smuggler’s blues)
Friends at the Table, they play different systems and have fun running them. Players are having fun, but it’s not a comedy podcast.
The Magpies, blades in the dark play. Not humor.
And Spout Lore, it started off as the GM trying to have a game with depth and it’s a scaffolding held up by dick jokes. (Imagine that however you’d like)
Love Always Sunny! I just finished all 15 seasons of the show on Disney Plus and am really enjoying the podcast. The Dayman Cometh episode made me so happy.
The Dayman episode was amazing!
Lions Led By Donkeys - fun, irreverent military history podcast that is still quite informative
Hardcore History - more like an audio book that comes out once or twice a year. The WWI series is like 20- something hours BY ITSELF
