    Ep. 146 - Harold Shipman: Paging Dr. Death!

    Every year on HPH we use Halloween as an opportunity to disguise ourselves as a True Crime podcast and tell you the terrible, awful, pointless tale of a serial killer. I bet you thought that we were skipping it this year just because it so happens to be Mid-November. Wrong! This year marks our 5th installment in our serial killer...series...and this time we're focusing on an English doctor who murdered upwards of 250 of his own patients and then got caught because he was a big, stupid boomer. We're going to have a lot of fun, despite the grim reality behind this week's episode, so why don't you go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled Harold Shipman: Paging Dr. Death!

    Ep. 145 - The Bloody Baron Part II: Kinda Bad at Everything

    In last week's episode we introduced you to Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, a wealthy weirdo Estonian who was obsessed with violence, establishing a monarchy, and murdering Jewish people. When we left you, he had joined up with the White Army to fight against the Soviets in the Russian Civil War. In this episode we're taking you through his fighting in Siberia, his "liberation" of Mongolia, his establishment of a Mongolian army, his invasion of Russia, and his eventual death. And if you think any of that went well, then you need to go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and realize why this episode of Hundred Proof History is titled The Bloody Baron Part II: Kinda Bad at Everything!

    Ep. 144 - The Bloody Baron: The D******d of Dauria

    Ep. 144 - The Bloody Baron: The D******d of Dauria

    At the beginning of the 20th Century, the country of Russia was in a state of absolute turmoil. The Tsar had been overthrown and the country was divided between the commie Soviet Red Army and the aristocratic White Army. In the middle of this was a little known history figure named Roman von Ungern Sternberg, who would not only fight the Bolsheviks but would then invade Mongolia and attempt to lead a Mongol force back into Russia to liberate it from the Soviets. Oh, and he was a total piece of shit that believed in ultraviolence, particularly towards the Jewish people. It's a wild story and in this episode of HPH we're taking you through his youth, early military career, and his establishment as a feudal tyrant in Siberia. So, why don't you just go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled The Bloody Baron Part I: The Dickhead of Dauria!

    Ep. 143 - Teddy Roosevelt and the River of Doubt Part II: Up Shit Creek

    Ep. 143 - Teddy Roosevelt and the River of Doubt Part II: Up Shit Creek

    In the last episode of HPH we told you all about Teddy Roosevelt joining forces with Brazilian Colonel Candido Rondon in the hopes of exploring an uncharted river in the Amazon. The first part of their journey was the 2 month trek through rainforest, mountains, and a desert-like plateau that resulted in the men losing a great deal of their supplies and having to cast out expedition members like the forgettable cast members of Survivor that get the boot after just one week. In this episode we're taking you down the river with ole Teddy and man is it gonna suck for everyone involved. Get ready for starvation, disease, murder, and a former president contemplating suicide. It's a wild, wild ride, and we can't wait to take you on it, so go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled Teddy Roosevelt and the River of Doubt Part II: Up Shit Creek!

    Ep. 142 - Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt Part I: A Bunch of Bad Ideas

    Ep. 142 - Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt Part I: A Bunch of Bad Ideas

    We're back from our summer break with a wild ass story that you might know absolutely nothing about. What if we told you that there once was a former, beloved, US President who decided to risk his life traveling through the rainforest of Brazil to explore an uncharted river? And by "risk his life" we don't mean like "Oh I ate that Taco Bell after it had been sitting out for two days." No! We mean real, life threatening danger that takes him to the point of contemplating suicide. It's crazy to think it could happen but it absolutely did and we're going to tell you all about it. In this episode we focus on the piss poor planning of the expedition and the hellmarch that it had to go through just to get to the river itself. We're so excited to be back and we just want you to go ahead and grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt Part I: A Bunch of Bad Ideas!
