Evil Men

In the early 1960s, Phil Spector revolutionized pop music with his Wall of Sound productions and girl group masterpieces.

PLUS: the intro features Elvis, Roy Orbison AND a mother story!

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was the original artistic bad boy. He punched cops, threw rocks at landlords and loved a good street brawl. He also revolutionized painting with his dramatic use of light and shade, and by bringing the grit and grime of 16th century Rome to the canvas. Oh, he also killed some guys and spent the last years of his life on the run. This week, Chris, James and Michael meet the notorious Caravaggio. Enjoy!

William Hitler was Adolf’s ambitious but frustrated half-nephew. Born in Liverpool in 1911, William and his famous uncle had a frosty relationship, which is very sad. In fact, William was so upset that his uncle wouldn’t give him a cushy job in Nazi Germany that he turned to blackmail and humiliating the Führer in the press. This week Chris, James and Michael take a look at one of the most fraught uncle-nephew relationships in history. Enjoy!
