I haven’t made it through the entirety of a single person that they’ve covered. Probably because it usually takes at least two episodes. But it is hours and hours of just unrelenting irredeemable actions by these people, and it’s just more than I can take. And I only tried Henry Kissinger and Elon Musk, And I just can’t do anymore. They get so in depth and so detailed sometimes that it’s just too much.
If you want to try something from them that is slightly less depressing the Eel horse episode has one of my favorite moments. The pure joy of Robert's reaction to Garrison in that episode gives me the warm fuzzies. Also if you want a sillier version of btb you should try the dollop. They tend to focus on more silly and absurd than awful.
edit: also the christmas episodes of btb are stories of good things happening.
Thank you! I have a terrible time finding and getting into new podcasts.
Of course! if you want more recommendations I don't speak german goes through awful right-wing figures. Weird little guys also goes into neonazis. Cool people who did cool stuff covers people doing good things, but it is rough since it's never easy and they have a hard time.
