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, a podcast hosted by Robert Evans, 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.

**Rule #1**: Be nice to everyone, except history's greatest monsters. This also means following [Reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette/)

**Rule #2**: Be kind to the guests. They volunteer their time to learn about these Bastards. If you don’t like someone that’s completely fine. Robert does. Meaning he thinks they’re worthy of being a guest and his opinion trumps yours. Don’t be negative for the sake of being negative.

**Rule #3**: Submissions can be removed at moderators discretion if not deemed on topic. Rule suspended on the weekends

**Rule #4**: Any content related to Robert Evans is valid. Whether it be Behind the Bastards, It Could Happen Here, Bellingcat, his books, audiobooks, interviews, etc., it’s fair game. 

**Rule #5**: No threats, encouragement or glorification of violence.
Threats and encouragement of violence are not acceptable. Don’t do it. Being glad Hitler is dead is fine. Duh.
