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?

If a story about a figure is funny, they will include it as fact even if there is no evidence for the claim. Like how Stalin definitely routinely used tomatoes as whoopie cushions.

Which just kinda shows that they will believe every little bit of propaganda that comes their way.
