What do an American-trained doctor, a Chinese peasants son and a Japanese politician have in common?... Some of the worlds cruelest and murderous tyrannical leaders.

Tune in this week as Ollie introduces James to a podcast that explores the hidden lives of history’s tyrants, including Mao Zedong, General Tojo and Papa Doc, with Real Dictators. Brought to us by Noiser, produced by the brilliant Pascal Hughes and hosted by the talented Paul McGann (Dr Who, Luther, Withnail and I), Real Dictators is exceptionally written and well researched.

The way Real Dictators fuses immersive, dramatic storytelling with interviews with world-renowned experts including  historians and an array of regime insiders, this podcast is a must listen.
