I'm about halfway done with the last season of the Revolutions podcast and up to date with Blowback. I'm probably going to be looking for another fun history podcast to listen to soon to throw into my rotation with The Dollop, to break up the pop culture, comedy, or news podcasts.
I recently listened to the Kissinger episodes of Behind the Bastards and they seemed pretty informative and funny. Also apparently it's by some old Cracked people, and I'm a fan of all those old Cracked content creators. But the first episode says it's about Stalin, so I'm guessing it's like in the progressive but lib direction? I don't mind, just want peoples thoughts on it before I decide to start or look for something else. How is it for people who have listened to it?
Nobody's mentioned that Fedvan's constant attempts at humor are intolerable. I listen to an episode now and then if it's on someone I truly hate, and he just says something crass and/or horny with a tone of voice that means he's being funny. I hate it.
evans was 100% a zany sporkposter in the 2010s and he hasn't outgrown that sense of "humor"
wooaahh I'm so wacky I'm throwing things in this room like a baby in a highchair, wowee, now I have a knife! big scary knife ha ha ha this is so zany and funny
I guarantee he does over-the-lines "weird" shit when he gets drunk and makes everyone uncomfortable but he's convinced he's the life of the party
I guarantee he does that when he's drunk and I also guarantee he does it when he's not drunk.
I used to listen to the show a lot and a lot of his "humor" felt like he has an internal script of how to make a joke, and just keeps using that for every joke hes made since middle school. Its been years since I listened so maybe he's gotten better
He was also really bad with going off of jokes or comments the guests made, it was always like they were interrupting him whenever they tried talking
