I tried behind the bastards, and really liked the first few (older?) episodes. But it soon felt too shallow, especially when the main host isn’t speaking – imo the other guests were only there to provide quips. Personal opinion, of course. Maybe this got better?
I switched over to QAA to scratch this itch for laughing at conspiracy theorists.
You’re not wrong, but I do think that’s part of the charm of the show.
Personally, I love the darker side of history. So I’m usually at least somewhat aware of the topic covered. Most guests aren’t, so you tend to get a more natural reaction to things covered. And guests tend to ask questions about things that they don’t know, which can lead to interesting and/or fun tangents.
Some guests are better than others, but by and large I think it’s good to have them for this particular show.
