    154: The Mass Murderer Who Inspired Hitler: How Mussolini Manipulated a Nation
    Dec 18 2024
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    I’m very interested in dictators. I read so much about Stalin last year. We even did a two parter on him, wild guy. Today’s main character has a LOT in common with Stalin… He was besties with Hitler. And he survived not one, not two, not three, but FOUR assassination attempts. On top of that, after he survived, he tried to *cancel christmas.* Today, we’re talking about… BENITO MUSSOLINI.

    He’s responsible for the deaths of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people. But what made him so powerful and why did so many people support him?

    Well, those are the questions I wanted to know the answers to, so let's learn about Benito Mussolini in today's episode of Dark History.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

  • 153: Creators Ruined By Their Creations: Great Ideas, Deadly Consequences

    153: Creators Ruined By Their Creations: Great Ideas, Deadly Consequences
    Dec 11 2024
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Lawrence Sperry, the inventor of autopilot had ONE vice, and it's that he was... well, really horny. Allegedly, Lawrence would use autopilot to step away and have sexual relations with women on the plane.

    Lawrence was later involved in a plane crash… some say it was because he was using his autopilot to service a lady, others say it had something to do with the weather. He and his lady friend survived… but they were found completely stripped of their clothes. And the media went wild. Lawrence became kind of a joke and maybe because of that, he kind of gets forgotten for inventing autopilot.

    But this made me realize: the very thing Lawrence invented almost killed him. How ironic. And… he’s not the only one. Lawrence is just one of many creators who have had near death experiences with their creations. And some weren’t as lucky as he was.

    Welcome to the Dark History of creators RUINED by their creations.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

  • 152: The Secret Sex Lives of Eunuchs | Dark History

    152: The Secret Sex Lives of Eunuchs | Dark History
    Dec 4 2024
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Over many cultures and many years, being a Eunuch--or someone who has been castrated--has meant something different. Like In ancient China, Eunuchs were thought to be more trustworthy, so they became political advisors. Or In Italy, they realized it stopped men’s voices from developing. So Eunuchs formed a special class of opera singers.

    Sometimes the process of becoming a Eunuch was voluntary… And other times… not so much. It was done by force or even coercion. But where did these traditions start?

    Well my friends, today, we’re talking about the dark history of … EUNUCHS.

    I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Lots of advertisements

I have seen a few of Bailey's youtube videos and enjoyed them since it seems to center around crimes I haven't heard. The only issue here is too many fricken ads. No other podcast I have listened to has this many paid advertisements. First influencer podcast I have listened to so that says it all I guess lol.

Valley Girl

Sorry but seems to be read by a modern day valley girl.
Did I hear a commercial in the middle???
Topics could be interesting but can’t take the immature style of reading
