Welcome back to the home of the oxymoron. Evil genius. He asked the newspaper to print his obituary early so he'd enjoy it. That's like hiding at your own funeral. Yeah, it's a big, great gig. I'm Russell Kane. Join me to weigh in on whether the biggest players in history are more evil or genius. Becoming that rich, I'd say that at some level of genius. It also helps that it's a long time ago, right?

It's like the podcast version of telling your kids the ice cream van plays music when it's out of ice cream.

Listen to evil genius on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I've got a couple of riddles for you tonight.

What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon and

three in the evening. If you whisper to yourself, man, then take a bow and make it two bows if

you knew that Oedipus gave the correct answer, and three, if you remembered, that this led to the

demise of that tricky riddle merchant, the Sphinx. So how about this one?

Whose name, though shortened to TIG,

is the same person as the Greek heroine currently been played by Juliet Binosh at the Barbican?

And here's a small clue.

So what do you say?

Will you show what you made of?

What could I show? What could I say?

What could I do that would make any difference?

If you join me, if you join my action.

What risk?

Where is your mind?

If you help me, help me lift the corpse?

You mean to bury him when it's forbidden?

Sister, my dead are mine.

And yours as well as mine.
