There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

New episodes Wednesday and Friday with backlog episodes on Saturday until we catch up.

  2. I watched the movie recently and despite being a product of the 1960's, it's still a pretty good movie. Be warned, it's 3 hours and 45 minutes long! Also the first 4 minutes of the movie is just a black screen with music to set the mood.

  3. In a post Me Too society, the "Lawrence didn't get gang-raped," arguments all sound like the exact same arguments people make when trying to discredit women who are coming out and accusing someone of assault. Makes those arguments very unconvincing.

  9. I actually know a surprising amount about blowing up bridges. My neighbor in college was a Russian anti Soviet who used to blow up bridges and tracks. She showed us all the different bombs she knew how to make

  10. I always liked the way the film portrayed that no one really trusted anyone in this stew. Lawrence was trying to guide boulders down a mountain. His bosses worried he'd gone native. They constantly held back arms for the same reason the US arming Afghan rebels blew up in our faces. Faisal knew the Europeans would walk all over them, but he needed their assistance to consolidate his rulership and drive out the Turks. It's all a shit show, but it's really just another chapter of European hubris in the region that has been going since the Crusades. At least Lawrence seemed to try to pull these people out from under the heel and set them up as a friendly state that ruled themselves. Too bad his own hubris underestimated how much the Arab tribes disliked each other.

  13. The series is really interesting, but I think the "carrying flour" bit is either a mistranslation or the people writing about it not understanding what it was.
    I'm pretty sure they were actually carrying bags of semolina (semoule), which is what is used to make, among other things, couscous.
    It's super practical because it's easy to carry, is compact, will work by itself or with whatever you can hunt or gather, and will sustain you by itself.

    You can basically run on 100-150g of dry semolina per person per meal, so by itself a 45kg bag would get you really, really far.

    You can also use it to make cakes.
