Just like history isn’t all black and white, neither are the people who lived it. So who are the ones living in the grey?


Welcome to Ambivalent Offenders— where we dig into the lives of people who’ve been called a lot of things: villains, scoundrels, monsters, misfits, or just plain morally messy. But were they really as bad as history says… or have they gotten an unfair rap?


In each episode, we unpack the stories, facts, and cultural myths surrounding some of the most questionable (and sometimes misunderstood) figures from the past — all in a tone that’s more friend-at-brunch (according to one listener review) than lecture hall. No dusty textbooks, no moral grandstanding. Just conversational storytelling, questionable behavior, and a little historical tea.


Ultimately, we’re here to do what humans do best: judge the hell out of some pretty interesting people.

    Power Rankings of the American Revolutionary War Founding Fathers (PATREON CLIP)
    2026/06/30

    To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this month on Patreon, we did our own official power ranking of the American Revolutionary War Founding Fathers (and Mothers! Don't worry, Abby Adams, we did not forget the ladies!). We are sharing a clip of us discussing George Washington's contributions, but if you want to hear more, please follow the links to get access to the entire episode where we also discuss Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton (sadly, we do not sing this entire section).

  • Anatomy of a Crash: Full Episode

    Anatomy of a Crash: Full Episode
    2026/04/05

    Erin and I (Jamie) return to the story of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in this special episode. This time we focus on the final hours leading up to the 1999 plane crash that killed John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn, and her sister Lauren.

    Drawing directly from the official NTSB accident report and other primary sources, Erin breaks down the chain of events—weather conditions, pilot experience, aircraft details, and widespread misconceptions—to offer a clear, factual “anatomy” of what happened that night.

    Along the way, we address persistent myths, discuss how public perception of the Kennedys has shifted, and reflect on the cultural moment in which the tragedy occurred. Our hope is a respectful and hopefully illuminating look at a story often clouded by rumor.
