Ridiculous History Podcast Review

The Pitch:

Ben and Noel dive into the weirdest stories from history.

The Product:

In almost every way imaginable Ridiculous History is like the cooler younger brother to iHeartRadio cohorts Stuff You Should Know. And I mean that as a compliment. To both shows, actually.

Ridiculous History is a dream for obsessive podcasters, with a simple and clear premise, likeable hosts, excellent production, and more than 200 episodes already released.

It can be difficult to straddle the line between a dry informational style and a riff-heavy comedy set in a podcast like this, but the hosts balance it perfectly, bringing humour and some pretty solid research to each topic.

Episodes usually clock in between 30–45 minutes and cover a range of topics from a war started over a dog, to the most recent episode detailing a German obsession with being photographed in polar bear suits.

Interested? You should be!

Can You Sleep To It?

You totally can! But you might want to check back in the next day to hear what you missed.
