Freak of the Week

Sarah Roberts, Rosalie Minnitt

Hosted by Rosalie Minnitt & Sarah Roberts, Freak of the Week is a deep dive contest to find the world’s biggest freak from history and pop culture. (Freak defined as someone we’d like to follow around for a day with a go-pro strapped to their head). Every episode, we each bring a pop culture figure and a historical figure, and battle it out with three facts to crown the biggest freak of the episode. We will then rank them on a freakometre and each series one will win freak of all the weeks.
