001 - Douchebag Defined

In our first ever podcast episode, we talk about what it means to be a douchebag of history, and how we define it in this context.

We cover four examples of historical figures who made it almost all the way to the top but failed within sight of their goal. Why? Maybe it's they were douchebags. We also offer as counterpoints four of their contemporaries who succeeded where they failed, and we look forward to our first full episode, in which a First Lady's temper tantrum just maybe changed the course of American history.
