    Chapo Trap House

The show is produced by Chris Wade and formerly by Brendan James. The podcast is strongly associated with the dirtbag left, a term coined by Frost to refer to a style of contentious left-wing political discourse that eschews civility for its own sake in favor of vulgarity.

    It’s not a leftist podcast at all, but Revolutions by Mike Duncan is a history podcast series that covers some great times of leftist ideas. Season 3 is the French revolution, 6 is the July revolution, 7 is the spring of the people, 8 is the Paris Commune, 9 is the Mexican revolution (Zapatistas), and 10 is currently coming out and is on the Russian revolution.

    The first 8 episodes of season 10 are a history of Socialism, communism, and anarchism. There are episodes like Historical Materialism, The Three Pillars of Marxism, The Adventures of Mikhail Bakunin. This is not a leftist podcast at all, and tries to take an unbiased historical approach, but there’s always some bias.

    Behind the Bastards

    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 removed 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.
