    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.

    36:47 North Korean movies aren't good, but at least they MAKE them. "Movies are banned, here are some puppets" is too cruel even for North Korea.

    I assume that the banning of ballet is because Russia has famous ballet companies; if Turkmenistan had much ballet going on at all it would certainly have been introduced by Russia/the Soviet Union, hence his statement that it's alien to the country. Also in regards to your questions about "time is a mace - hit or be hit," given that it comes just after a part where he states that time represents the length of your life, he is presumably talking about taking "time" from other people so that they don't take "time" from you.

      Yea, not that hard to understand. Ballet represents Russian influence.

    Wasn't there a story about a bunch of people worshipping a golden statue of some kind of baby mammal?

      technically “calf” is a mistranslation, the עגל in Hebrew refers to a heifer rather than a calf. But “golden heifer” doesn’t sound as good.

      1. they have an absolutely gorgeous breed of " golden horses" called the akhal-teke that serves as a national symbol. i haven't gotten to see on IRL, but if the hype is true they look like something from a fairy tale (the pictures & videos I've seen of them definitely lend credence to this).
      2. They have a very odd relationship with the Guinness world record's.
