From famous founders to capitalist cooks, from sex scandals to the dirtiest blues song, AMERICAN FILTH dives into the filthier side of American history: uncovering people who society has largely excluded from the history books because they were too unconventional, provocative, seedy, dirty, trashy…. Or just plain filthy. And sure, some of these folks made great contributions to history. But that’s not the part of their lives AMERICAN FILTH is interested in. This podcast is here for the drama, the spice, and general tomfoolery. The weekly series of brisk episodes plunges face-first into the dirtiest events and people in the annals of American history.

The Worst Showman
I know this will be hard to imagine, but the man who is considered the father of the American freak show wasn't the greatest of guys. He was actually a pile of American Filth if you can believe it. This episode, we're talking about PT Barnum and his origin story of exploitation and racism!!

Customer Reviews
She’s Hysterical - pretty much always
Wow! I am 62 YO OG and — on paper — have nothing in common with Gabby. She’s a killer writer and comedian. Talent always shows and this pod is awesome. If you’re, like, thick - show’s probably not for you. But if you have a pulse, listen - now !! — it’s super funny.
