About Epik Fails of History

"Epik Fails of History" is a podcast about the most epic fails of... history! Created, hosted, and edited by Erik Slader (author of the "Epic Fails" history book series), co-hosted with fellow podcasters, Chris Carroll, and Justin Ache. (Recommended for ages 13 and up due to some mild language, occasional crude humor, as well as discussions of war, disasters, and historical facts.)
