  • Summary

  • History class just got hilariously inappropriate. Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (14M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly. In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes.

    3: John Brown’s Sausage Fest (Part 2)
    May 1 2024
    Welcome back to part two of Norm’s coverage of famed anti-slavery crusader, John Brown. In this episode, John and his squad prepare for their infamous raid on Harpers Ferry. In the leadup to the attack, John dodges saboteurs, refuses to compromise, and bores the ever-loving shit out of Frederick Douglass. Plus, he comes up with a cool new invention - a knife on a stick!

    Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from:
    “Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War” by Tony Horwitz
    “To Purge This Land With Blood: A Biography of John Brown” by Stephen Oates
    “Bleeding Kansas: Contested Liberty in the Civil War Era” by Nicole Etcheson

    2: Carry A. Nation wasn’t *that* tall
    Apr 24 2024
    Good history hoes probably think they know about Carry Nation. She was the woman who busted into saloons with a hatchet and smashed everything to booze-soaked bits! In fact, she liked smashing up bars so much that she did it again. And again! And again!!

    People called her crazy! And ugly! And tall! …which we all can agree is equally bad!(?)

    In this episode, Kristin posits that Carry A. Nation deserves more respect than she has been given. Then again, in this episode, Kristin also tries to sell you a bubble mailer full of pig butter. So… should you really listen to anything she says?

    Remember, kids, history hos always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
    “Carry A. Nation: Retelling the Life,” by Fran Grace
    “Smashing the Liquor Machine: A Global History of Prohibition,” by Mark Lawrence Schrad
    “The Use and Need of the life of Carry A. Nation,” written by Carry A. Nation in 1905.
