The podcast is not the best but the story behind SOF Magizine and how if came about and what it was responsible for is crazy AF. It's a 2 part series. Haven't made it all the way through part 1 but it has not disappointed yet.

Episode/Topic:
Soldier Of Fortune Magizine. The Deadliest Magizine Ever.

A little summary about the "Behind The Bastard's" Podcast:
"There’s a reason the History Channel has produced
hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a
few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and
gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards
dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans
in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their
lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult
novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous
ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest
to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the
sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam
Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist".

Soldier Of Fortune Magizine's Dark Side:
"SOF became known for tough journalism and breaking stories, calling out the self-promoting but hollow MIA rescue missions led by former Green Beret Bo Gritz, and secured evidence of “yellow rain” chemical attacks being used against Laotians and others. It was a new brand of journalism. As the success of SOF grew, so did the problems of working on the margins of journalism. The classified ads in Soldier of Fortune were lucrative, but those placing them and responding to them sometimes had dark purposes. The magazine was accused of promoting killers for hire".
