  • 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.

  • 32: Pocahontas was *not* into John Smith (Part 2)

    32: Pocahontas was *not* into John Smith (Part 2)
    Nov 20 2024
    When the English popped up on the shore of the “New World,” they were in rough shape. They didn’t have much food, knew next to nothing about their surroundings, and had a boatload of diseases. The English also brought with them an interesting worldview. They figured that Native Americans would be thrilled to: Give them food, work for them, change religions, and one day pay taxes to the King.

    They thought wrong.

  • 31: Pocahontas: More Than a Disney Movie (Part 1)

    31: Pocahontas: More Than a Disney Movie (Part 1)
    Nov 13 2024
    Over the years, Pocahontas’ life story has become distorted, sensationalized and mythologized. Hell, it even got turned into an exceptionally crappy Disney movie! In this series, Norm separates fact from fiction as he delves into the complicated, fascinating life of Pocahontas.

    Custalow, Linwood, and Angela L. Daniel. The True Story of Pocahontas. Fulcrum Publishing, 2007.

  • 30: Ya Call This Art??

    30: Ya Call This Art??
    Nov 6 2024
    Note: Hi friends. We had to say goodbye to our sweet, 17-year-old cat, Boo, this week, so we’re releasing this episode from our Patreon. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.

    Teri Horton didn’t mince words. The $5 thrift store painting she’d picked up for a friend was ugly. Very ugly. It wasn’t even what she’d call art. It looked like blobs and sprays of paint flung willy-nilly on a massive canvas. So, when Teri’s friend didn’t want the painting, Teri wasn’t offended. But Teri was sure surprised when an art teacher told her she might have purchased a genuine Jackson Pollock painting.

    Teri’s response was quick. “Who the f*** is Jackson Pollock?”

    Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
    The documentary, “Who the #$and% is Jackson Pollock?”
    “The Case for Jackson Pollock,” by PBS Digital Studios

in depth, educational, and a ton of fun

I was extremely sad when Let’s go to Court ended. I was very nervous to try out the new podcast but it did not disappoint. I LOVE the detail in depth stories you’ve told so far. So many podcasts are like “lemme tell you everything about WWII in 30 minutes”, I don’t like it, I want the deets. I enjoy the tangents, they make me laugh. Your at-ease fun demeanors make listening relaxing. Keep up the good work and Norm get rid of the squishy ball noises, they make me feel queasy.

It's never boring. they keep it interesting as well as hilarious so you'll be laughing as you learn all kinds of stuff. the chemistry between the two is wonderful, refreshing, and HILARIOUS! I know I keep saying the word "hilarious" but its just so fitting! Did I mention that I love it? Wonderful podcast.

I like Norm & Kristen

I like the in depth stories about interesting topics, I would never research myself! They are funny, likable, and relatable. I’m a Let’s Go to Court fan and I’m so happy Kristen and Norm decided to stay on “the air.” Can’t wait for DP to make an appearance. I look forward to new episodes each week!

Funny and informative

I love the deep dive we had with the John Brown episodes. History is meant to be put in context, so going in depth on the topics is great. I love the dynamic of the hosts and the humor they bring.
