I'm pretty open, and not really looking for anything specific here aside from the usual "no liberal bullshit" rule. I did listen to a bit of Chapo for a hot second in 2018 but I could be persuaded to go back if theyre good.

So to that end, what are your favorite episodes of your podcast of choice?

I like to listen to Behind the Bastards. It's a show where the host does deep dives into people who are quite terrible people.

As far as a favorite episode goes, I'd have to choose either the Vince McMahon multipart episodes or the one about Stockton Rush (the rich submarine guy who imploded).

I love the humor juxtaposed with learning about how terrible these people are.

I should mention that the podcast is headed by one Robert Fedvans, and one of the episodes is on Stalin.

The series on Kissinger is a must, but be prepared to get very angry.

Kissinger and McMahon have already been recommended so I'll recommend the episode(s) on L Ron Hubbard. Afaik it's the only person they've had to return to multiple times as they learned more and more insane things he did
