About this listen

 Forget dry dates and dusty textbooks. We dive into the messy, chaotic, and often hilarious side of the past. This isn't about the "Great Men" of history; it’s a deep dive into scandal, overlooked people, and the bizarre events traditional classes skip.From royal mistakes to unhinged dictators, we unpacks the weirdest biographies with sharp wit and sociological insight. We answer the question of who did what now available in audio format. It’s a weekly dose of historical tea-spilling that proves the past was just as unhinged as the present.
