  • A Ridiculous History of Sex, with Ross Benes

    A Ridiculous History of Sex, with Ross Benes
    Jul 1 2025

    Heads-up, folks: this is a PG-13 episode. Ben and the legendary guest producer, also Ben, welcome author and journalist Ross Benes for a wide-ranging discussion on the ridiculous ways in which sex has altered the course of human civilization. We're talking about the origin story of the vibrator, the way the US military accidentally made San Francisco a 'gay mecca,' the fanatical drives of the Puritans, sex scandals and so much more.

  • CLASSIC: Back When the Rich Ate Corpses

    CLASSIC: Back When the Rich Ate Corpses
    Jul 3 2025

    Nowadays it's safe to say that cannibalism isn't a widely-accepted practice, but not so long ago it was considered the bleeding edge (get it?) in medicine throughout Western Europe. Join Ben and Noel as they explore the odd practice of consuming human body parts in hopes of curring all one's ills, through everything such as the King's drops to bandages soaked in human fat, along with related stories of the legendary Mellified Man and the current, tragic phenomenon of Tanzanian criminals hunting down those suffering from albinism to use their body parts in magic rituals.

I was hooked on "The Stuff They Don't Want You To Know", then I found this podcast with some of the same hosts. I'm so excited that I get to listen to a while new library of amazing history. Keep up the amazing work!

Insanely informative and always entertaining!

Sometimes wacky, crazy, dare I say ridiculous historical moments from Clown juice that became pink lemonade to the US Navy defeating their enemies with potatoes! Ben and Nole with their Super Producers cover various topics. They can sometimes get trapped down rabbit holes but they will then usually bring things back around with a 2 parter. As extra fun beware the Quizzster at the end of some episodes!

Great show to learn bits of missed history.
