  • I have been listening to them for the past week. I find them very enjoyable to listen to while studying, I can’t drink so I mostly ignore that section of their podcast, but overall, it’s amazing.

  • Not for me

    35 minutes in and barely even started to tell the story. Hard pass on this one.

  • Great idea ruined…

    … by one of the presenters who thinks they are a lot funnier than they are and constantly talks over their co-host. Another potentially great show I can’t listen to because the presentation is unbearable.

    Heinous History with Humor! Wonderful banter while delivering great historical stories and calling out the unbelievable incompetency of doctors and police investigators of the past.
