This Guy Sucked is a history podcast for haters, by 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 beloved to the relatively unknown.

No historically-significant dead person is safe, and every episode proves that the best part of understanding the past is criticizing it. New episodes every Thursday!
