  • Mussolini: Italy's Psycho Dictator (Part 2)

    Mussolini: Italy's Psycho Dictator (Part 2)
    Jul 21 2024
    Spring, 1945. As Italy collapsed into anarchy and the Allies drove north, the fate of fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini, was in the hands of a partisan militia claiming to represent the country's legitimate government.

    The death of Il Duce and his mistress Claretta Petacci marked the end of his rule, but not the end of Italian fascism. As Jacques Morrell discovered, the far right remains influential in present-day Italian politics.

    So what exactly happened in those chaotic days in April 1945? Did Mussolini receive justice, or were his executioners just as bad as he was? In an age dominated by posturing tyrants, did lesser psychopaths go unpunished?

  • Benito Mussolini: Italy's Psycho Dictator (Part 1)

    Benito Mussolini: Italy's Psycho Dictator (Part 1)
    Jul 14 2024
    Benito Mussolini was a textbook psycho – arrogant, grandiose and heartless. He established a fascist dictatorship in Italy by brutally repressing his political opponents.

    Mussolini invaded Ethiopia and Libya, where his troops committed extensive war crimes, including civilian massacres and the use of chemical weapons. He took Italy into World War Two, a national catastrophe that led to widespread death and suffering.

    In the first of two podcasts, journalist Simon Ford and retired detective Jacques Morrell explore the events surrounding Mussolini's fall from power. How can a psycho enthral a nation – and are there lessons for our time in the story of Mussolini: Italy's psychopathic dictator?

Old fashioned, judgemental attitudes put me off

Facts in the podcasts I listened to were interesting but the old-fashioned, judgemental attitudes of the 2 presenters led to me giving up listening to this series.
