Show overview

Twisted History has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 208 episodes. That works out to roughly 290 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 12m and 1h 36m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language History show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 4 weeks ago, with 3 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2021, with 54 episodes published. Published by Barstool Sports.

From the publisher

Twisted History is a petulant and irreverent look at the darker side of history hosted by two guys (Large and Vibbs) who had to look up the words “petulant” and “irreverent”. It’s been called a "delightful romp through the annals of murder and mayhem” by Large’s wife, and the series aims to entertain by shedding light onto some of the weirder skeletons that reside within the closets of History, Sports, Music, Politics, and Celebrity.
