What it is about

A show that proves no matter how long you've been dead, it's never too late to have haters. Join historian Dr. Claire Aubin and a new expert every week to pull back the scholarly curtain on the world’s worst guys and gals. From the widely beloved to the relatively unknown, no historical figure is safe, and every episode reminds listeners that the best part of understanding the past is criticizing it.New episodes every Thursday — free episodes bi-weekly, and access to all episodes (ad-free!) at patreon.com/thisguysucked
