  • Sex, Slaves & Pickled Children: The Wild Origins of Christmas
    Dec 21 2025

    Jesus is the reason for the season...right? Eh, not really. I'll break down the Roman festivals, Pagan rituals, and Victorian branding that turned sex-drenched slave parties, serial killers and a vengeful saint into the Christmas we know today—from Christmas trees to Santa Claus.

    Plus, why exactly Jesus' message made such an impression on the blood-loving Romans!

  • Burn Book: Bloody Mary's Favorite Hobby
    Dec 4 2025

    Step into Tudor England at its bloodiest and most unhinged, where monarchs changed religions on a whim and the price of disagreeing with the crown was burning alive—just ask the Oxford Martrys.


    In this episode, we unravel the real story behind Mary I—“Bloody Mary”—and the Oxford Martyrs whose deaths became political theater.


    But to understand why Protestants and Catholics were so violently at odds, we go back even further: the Medici, Martin Luther, a warrior pope and a rant that changed the world.


    This is a story of fire, faith, and rebellion, so you love messy history, morally gray heroes, and the way centuries-old scandals still shape modern identity and politics, this episode is your new obsession.




    🥂

  • The Dark History of the First Thanksgiving: Cannibals, Colonists, and Rat Pee
    Nov 27 2025

    Forget the Hallmark version — the first Thanksgiving wasn’t cute, cozy, or even particularly grateful.

    In this episode, we break down the real story behind the 1621 feast: the Pilgrims who knew nothing and learned even less, the Jamestown colonists who literally ate each other, and the kidnapped survivor — Squanto, who held an entire colony together.
    Enjoy this tale of useless assholes, entitlement and why empathy can be a deadly mistake.
    Pull up a chair — it’s about to get historically unhinged.
