This Guy Sucked - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Enjoying the first two episodes. Dr. Aubin is a great host. The premise is funny and that’s what drew me in, but the way she lays things out with her guests makes me excited to learn more history.

This is a relevant podcast in today's society and its culture clashing. I admittedly have only listened to the Henry Ford episode, which included a lot of information I surprisingly didn't know: his education and early career and how it led him to manufacturing the car em masse, Fordlandia, and of course his extremist Anti-Semitic and racist views and their impacts. I read the other reviews though as well, and after reflecting, I agree with their sentiments in part. The informal and conversational style of the host and guest makes the content approachable but the filler words and continued use of millennial phrases ("literally", "like", etc.) needs to be reduced to ensure the content is taken seriously and remains credible. Obviously the premise of the show is why these historical figures sucked, but going into more of the impacts of the acts themselves on marginalities and vulnerable people in that moment (using numbers and data) to today will help keep those claiming misandry at bay. Obviously there will always be critics of those criticizing so-called "revolutionaries" and "geniuses", but it's worth considering that sometimes leaning too much into the polarizing can be, well, polarizing and defeat the purpose of this podcast, being to shed a light on the acts and people who harmed others and continue to harm in today's world. To further clarify, it's amazing to lean into these facts and to share them at all which is polarizing, so I guess what I mean by this is word choice matters and being less millennial in how the information is presented will help. I'm a millennial woman myself so I get it! On the other hand, it's your podcast and I commend the creativity and guts to do it!

Love the pettiness of this podcast and the knowledge of the guests! It’s equal parts funny and informative! Great listen!

new must-listen podcast for people who enjoy learning about stuff they learned wrong the first time just dropped! Don’t blame yourself too much, the american education system and media landscape have likely steered you (and me!) wrong at almost every opportunity
