Customer Reviews
Edutainment
Love the podcast. I listen when I work out and when I’m driving. Lauren and Haley have great chemistry. They have good insight to the parts of history you’re not told in school as well. Very educational and entertaining. Highly recommend to give it a listen, or just go ahead and binge all of the episodes.
dont drink
lauren is awesome. idk why the drunk one constantly interrupts her to make unfunny jokes. the man is also annoying. the content is interesting, the snort laughing and talking to the dog is not.
Making murder.... fun? In the best way?
So evry time I listen to an episode of Killer History, I'm reminded in depth about why I love History in the first place. The greatest thing about looking back at historical things is that we have a modern day view of something that happened long ago and can apply interesting and often hilarious viewpoints to dark topics. Combine history, crime, and delightful commentary, and you basically hit the jackpot. That's what this podcast does - hit the jackpot with each episode. I look forward to it each week and can't wait to watch this podcast grow!
