  • Is this a wacky morning show or about evil people?

    I wanted to listen to a podcast about the Hussein Brothers and how crazy they are. So this came up highly in my search, I tried listening to it for 10 or 15 minutes constantly hitting the skip ahead waiting until they started talking about it instead of just being a wacky morning drivetime radio show and I couldn’t wait any longer. I suppose if you know what you’re getting yourself in for it’s OK, but if you’re just searching to hear a factual podcast, this is not the place.

  • How about we stick to what the title say?

    So wanted to listen to the Christopher Dorner episode and 15 minutes in they’re still talking about themselves not even like focusing on the title or subject it is so rude to do.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E241: Frank Abagnale, the "Catch Me If You Can" Guy with Matt Wright
Q: What period did Abagnale claim to have committed most of his frauds, and why is that timeline controversial?
The hosts discuss that Abagnale claims much of his activity occurred when he was between 16 and 21, but journalists have debunked many of these details, noting overlaps with prison time and implausibly high check volumes for the time.
E229: William Henry Harrison aka Old Tippecanoe
Q: Who was William Henry Harrison and why is he notable?
He was the ninth U.S. president, known for the longest inauguration speech in history and the shortest presidency. He cultivated a populist, frontiersman image while coming from a wealthy background, and his campaign used memorable branding like log cabins and hard cider to connect with voters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Evil Men

What is Evil Men about and what kind of topics does it cover?
