This could have been a 30 minute conversation.
I recognize that my inability to listen to random people yap is my own problem, but get to the point.

If that’s a problem for you then Behind the Bastards is not for you.

I’d say that the aim of the podcast is not to document the events in question (that information could always be found elsewhere) but to document the back story behind the events in detail.

That not necessarily the problem. I’m the type to watch the multi-hour retrospectives about videogames.
The problem is all the off-topic chitchat.

I love Behind the Bastards, actually pretty much anything by Robert Evans, but I stopped listening for this exact reason.
