In this episode, we look at the strange, "good" deeds of two horrible men. We explore whether writing poetry implies a soul, and if being a good teacher counts for anything when you are a dictator.


  • Stalin: Responsible for millions of deaths... and the author of romantic poetry?
  • Mussolini: The father of Fascism... and a talented violinist who fixed the school system?


Disclaimer: Highlighting these historical paradoxes is not an endorsement. We do not stand behind the actions of these dictators, and their few good qualities do not absolve them of their crimes.
