Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

Today we have a nice, wholesome American hero to give you a feel-good break after the king of plagues and weeping sores from the last episode. But have no fear, he lived a life of plentiful violence as a general in the Revolutionary War. He even earned himself the nickname of "Mad" Anthony Wayne. He also may have fucked over some of the Indians that knew Tecumseh but that's neither here nor there! And you may hear some familiar names between the glorious battles and nighttime bayonet charges, enjoy!

Ep. 34 Shiro Ishii

There's this long held belief that it's hard to classify someone as objectively evil. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter and all that. Well, in this case it's pretty easy, Shiro Ishii is evil as fuck. I'd call him a real life Bond villain, but he makes Bond villains look like a pack of sissies. Tune in and find out how many war crimes one man can commit! And how the hosts feel about sweet, sweet opiates.

Ep. 36 Godfrey of Bouillon

Did you enjoy your break from historical monsters with our Tuesday dose of decent person? Well, time to dive back into the dickery with this medieval crusader/17,000th dude that hated the Jews. He was legitimately a pretty good general/leader, aside from the whole antisemitism and hating Muslims thing. But hey, you find me one European in this time period that didn't hate non-Christians, and I'll call you a liar because that person didn't exist! Anyways, enjoy the ride because it's still a great story!
