Each week, host John Hinson takes a look at weird, crazy, and forgotten stories from the history of humankind. He covers true crime, paranormal, and other strange stories and tries to put some humor into it, or maybe he's just an apathetic dick - that's up to you to decide.

Stumbled upon this podcast by accident. Love the quirky humor
Every week itâs something new to discuss, and I love the stories that are shared đđŻ! Iâll def be adding this podcast into my âsavedâ list!
