Idi Amin Part 1: The Butcher of Uganda

From 1971 to 1979, President Idi Amin Dada devastated Uganda. The
military dictator sank the economy and deported an entire ethnic
class. He slaughtered up to half a million of his fellow citizens.
All with the persona of 'Big Daddy', the playful joker. His image
as a buffoon, however, belied his extraordinary charisma and his
mastery of communication. In a continent ravaged by empire, his
bloody tale is part of a much larger story. Let's explore the life
of Africa's most infamous son. A Noiser production, written by Jeff
Dawson. For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early access
