Behind the Bastards is my top recommendation. Just learning how truly awful the world has been for a few thousand years is soul crushingly entertaining.

I love how they combine it all with light banter. Without the banter, most of the episode would be unlistenable, as you would be too depressed and tie yourself on a train track.

I also love that Robert brings on repeat guests for certain topics. If an episode has lots of dead babies, it gets one person, Nazis often get Matt Lieb with his new sound board.

My favorite episode of all time is Action Park, with Garrison as host and Robert as the β€œguest”.

I love "The Dollop" episode on action park. The Dollop hosts were the guests on BTB episode on Kissinger.

The Dollop is a great history podcast. Tends to be a little on the light-hearted side (but not always)

Action park had me laughing so hard I couldn't breath . Also it's Garry

Is it Garry now? It was Garrison then but I don’t want to mis-name them.

No he hates being called Garry it's a running joke with crowds at the dollop live shows.
