    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 twice a week on iHeartRadio.

    "They're gonna keep torturing me if I don't pretend to be better." That definitely still happens today.

    I've been listening to episodes at random now that Google Podcasts is dead. I was actually massively depressed when I first found the show back in 2018. I didn't see much point in anything, I had trouble taking care of myself, I slept too damn much. Your podcast actually helped pull me out, though. Even though your subjects are always horrible dirtbags, every time, there's someone trying to do the right thing. For every genocidal maniac or hack doctor, there's a crowd of people trying to set things right. It also helped that you and your guests are so open about your own mental health struggles, it made me feel less alone. So, thank you for many years of good listening!

    When he said he felt "competence and assurance that's almost grandiose", that was a manic symptom. He should've been treated with his own medicine...

    I didn't imagine I'd get called the fuck out within minutes of watching this episode.

    Oh, I'm sure no doctor in the Soviet Union would have said, "What a waste of labor." It just doesn't sound like something they would say.

    It hurts my feelings that no one said that guy had a ringy on his dinghy

    Cousin marriages were much more usual in the 19th century, and are still legal in some states including California and New York.

    Chemical imbalance theory as an explanation for schizophrenia is still not proven and is one of those cases where it’s kind of just a standard within treatment professionals to frame the symptoms as caused by chemical imbalance because there are drugs to sell. Little known state of psychiatry still maintaining its authority so people within a profession can legitimize their work and not really centering care for people with symptoms and figured I’d mention

      I actually had schizophrenia for about 3 years (real bad), and lighter forms for the next 10. It's completely gone now, but the depression is crippling.
      I had gotten some amazing drugs for two months while I was living in a homeless shelter, and I would like to have continued with them, but they were taken off the market. And pretty much any other anti-depressants I'd tried made me feel _almost_ like the assumption about labotomies... I felt "grey," basically uninterested, uninteresting, unmotivated... just _there._
      Alcoholism got its hooks in me, but really thanks to weed being legalized, I can finally see a way out with edibles. It doesn't kill my motivation, I can feel a full spectrum of emotions, and still be entirely functional. But those years I _smoked_ weed? Nah. It was fun, but as a lightweight who never built a tolerance, smoking would kill my drive to do anything until I started experimenting with smoking tiny amounts.
      But now, I can just go to a pot shop and pay 10 bucks for 10 candies... some nights I don't even eat any. But I really should, or alcohol's gonna fuck me up.

    We think y'all give psychiatry way more credit than it deserves. We fundamentally haven't moved far beyond the lobotomy, in spirit if not in practice, and those of us who are mad, are subject to psych abuse, are the most harmed by this.
