Today, we have a special crossover episode between Appodlachia and the incredible podcast, This Guy Sucked! This Guy Sucked is a history podcast that brings on historians (and Chuck) as guests, and discuss historical figures that sucked!

We're discussing the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency — an objectively detestable bunch of union busting thugs who terrorized workers in Appalachia during the mine wars in the early 1900s.  They sucked big time. 

They're available on all streaming platforms, and you can find their links via their website below.
