A show that proves no matter how long you've been dead, it's never too late to have haters. Join historian 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
Claire and Dr. Matthew Gabriele go on a holy crusade to figure out what’s up with Charlemagne the Actually-Not-That-Great.
