Humans Being Awful

About Humans Being Awful

Humans Being Awful is a solo true crime podcast about what people sometimes get away with — murder, scams, cults, manipulation, and worse. Each episode breaks down one real story. Sometimes it’s a headline case. Sometimes it barely made the news. But the pattern is often the same: someone causes harm, and the system lets it happen. Just the story, the fallout, and what it reveals about the people involved. 🎧 Available on Spotify, YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.
