   HS076 - The Pope Who Ruled for Only Five Months… and Almost Nobody Remembers (Found Footage from Flight VJ320)

   In this episode of History Squirt, we dig into one of the most forgettable (and surprisingly chaotic) papacies in history: Pope Celestine II. Elected in 1143 after a bitter power struggle, this guy barely had time to unpack before he was dead. In just five short months he tangled with kings, tried to clean up the mess left by his predecessor, and then promptly exited stage left. Was he a reformer? A political puppet? Or just the ultimate historical background character? We break down the intrigue, the short reign, and why almost no one talks about him today. Let’s Squirt! Also, we investigate the found footage from the final survivor of Flight VJ320 sent to us by an anonymous source.

   HS075 - 16 Most Brutal Killings in History (The Most Horrifying Ways People Have Ever Died)

   In this episode of History Squirt, we countdown 16 of the most savage, creative, and downright nightmarish killings in recorded history. From a king stabbed in the ass while sitting on the toilet, to a monarch murdered by his own wife and her lover with a scorching hot poker shoved where the sun doesn’t shine, to a man who was flayed alive, stuffed with hay, and sewn back together like a grotesque doll — this one goes hard. We also cover the infamous “bag of animals” drowning execution and a whole lot more of history’s darkest, most inventive deaths. Listener discretion is strongly advised. Let’s Squirt!

   HS074 - Anne Boleyn, the Queen Who Lost Her Head After Seducing a King…and Breaking a Church

   In this episode of History Squirt, we dive into the most scandalous rise and fall in Tudor history. Anne Boleyn wasn’t just Henry VIII’s second wife — she was the woman who made a king dump his first queen, split from the Catholic Church, and rewrite English history… only to end up on the chopping block herself. Accusations of adultery, incest, witchcraft, and treason. A rushed trial. And one of the most infamous beheadings of all time. Was she a ruthless social climber, a victim of pure politics, or both? We break down the drama, the betrayals, and the brutal end that still shocks people 500 years later. Let’s Squirt!
