One of a kind
This is an amazing podcast. The stories are really unbelievable. The one on Cornel Sanders is so well told.
Deep Dive into Anything Interesting
I’ve listened to Damn Interesting for years, more recently to the short form Damn Interesting Week. Both are worth the listen, but qualitatively the original long form is better all round. Stories are carefully written, usually centred around the intersection of history with another field. Each episode’s subject is usually obscure but very cool. Just finished Secret Order of Bali. There is no way I would have come across this story accidentally.
Damn…
Damn Interesting.
How about Damn Amazing!
How about Damn Intriguing!!
How about Damn Well Produced!!!
Absolute top notch program. Obscure historical stories with a hint of old time radio vibe. I’ve listened to almost every episode twice. A couple more than that. Seriously, put this in your feed.
P.S. Loving the longer format stories. Keep up the good work!!
