This Guy Sucked

5.0/5

Critic Rating

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

"This Guy Sucked works because it knows exactly what it is: an honest, hilarious takedown of some truly awful people. This isn’t just history for cynics—it’s a corrective to the mythmaking, a history lesson delivered with the energy of a Comedy Central Roast."
