History class just got hilariously inappropriate. Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (16M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly. In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who m... more

  • Love love love

    I loved Let’s Go to Court. I adored Kristen and Brandi. I always looked forward to Norm’s extremely informative (sometimes adorably nerdy) guest appearances as much as I enjoyed the og pod. I only stopped listening bc I have an annoyingly specific interest in one extremely specific avenue of American history. I loved the Pearl Harbor movie ep. Im so ready to try to catch up. ❤️

  • Used to be a 4-5 star.

    Overall a solid 3-star podcast.

    Norm seems that he has a very methodical approach to his topics. At times, gives way too much information that doesn’t actually hold any meaning to the story and claims it’s all context. But, his episodes are mostly enjoyable.

    Kristian is quite different. Loud. Rude. But masks it as “jokes”. I understand that contrasting personalities make for good listening. But talking down on your partner because he likes something almost every time he mentions it, that’s ... more

  • Meh

    You’d think these two were minorities themselves. It’s a good podcast if you aren’t a straight white male. Kristen can you please let Norm have a win once in a while, you often times disagree with his stories, gets a little old but he must like it.

  • His wife is annoying.

    His wife is way too obnoxious for me. I wish she wasn’t on the show because I can’t give it a listen anymore and having to stop listening. Norman, if you see this please consider. I’ve been a fan of yours since Gaming Historian and I really wish this podcast was done in the same style.
