Unhinged History is a history podcast combining humor and the crazy stories you never learned in school.
Theresa and Angie explore antics and hijinks throughout history. Each week they come together and share the bizarre stories they’ve only recently learned.
Uncover facts like Napoleon getting attacked by bunnies or details of the Beer Flood of 1814. Their favorite topics cover historical hoaxes, random war stories, unsolved mysteries, spies, and stories that make you question everything you thought you knew.
Leaning hard into Spooky Month, Angie and Theresa bring some stories that are real bangers.
First off, Angie leads with the story of Evita, you know, Eva Perón. What you may not know is that this incredibly inspirational leader had a wild life after she died. Her body was specially embalmed and paraded around, buried multiple times, and that's not even the weirdest part.
Theresa must have known Angie was going to tell a wild tale, because she ups the ante. Listen to the story of Francois Duvalier, the president of Haiti, who blends voodoo and dictatorship to maintain power.

Episode 194 | Glossing Over the Cannibalism
Sometimes Angie and Theresa share a special mind-meld where the topics have a surprising theme. This week, the theme is "sorta/kinda."
Theresa starts off by telling the tale of Frederick Thomas Lynwood, the Muffin Man, London's first serial killer. In typical Theresa fashion, she catches down facts and ruins this delightful clickbait. Come for the creepy tale, and stay for all of the ways it could never be true.
Angie picks up the torch and continues the theme with the story of La Voisin, the most renowned poisoner of her time. This French fortune teller was doing everything she could to keep her family afloat, including but not limited to "inheritance powders" and black masses ...but does her forced confession make her guilty?

Episode 193 | Be Okay With Morally Grey
Angie takes over the whole episode this week, with the tale of Roberto Cofresí. This part is Robin Hood, mostly a pirate, hailing from Puerto Rico. He’d start his career after the golden age of pirates, but doesn’t let that stop him. Sit back and learn his historical basis before delving into his ghost stories persisting to this day.
This story pairs well with:
