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.

  • Hilarious and unapologetic

    This guy is hilarious while factual. When he mocks the “bad guys” it’s the best. He calls out how stupid some people are and isn’t sorry or filtered. I love it.
