History class just got hilariously inappropriate.

Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (16M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly.

In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes. Crímenes Reales Mundial

  • 63: The Bath School Disaster (Part 1)

    63: The Bath School Disaster (Part 1)
    Jul 16 2025
    It was unspeakable. Unthinkable. In 1927, a school board member set off a series of explosions that killed 38 children, 6 adults, and injured at least 58 others. That act of domestic terrorism became known as the Bath School disaster. It rocked the small farming community of Bath Township, Michigan, and left people wondering how a seemingly “normal” man like Andrew Kehoe could have done something so terrible.

    Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from:

  • 62: Disco Demolition Night Didn’t Stop the Boogie

    62: Disco Demolition Night Didn’t Stop the Boogie
    Jul 9 2025
    In the late 70s, disco was everywhere. Songs like “Disco Inferno,” “I Will Survive” and “Brick House” topped the charts. Disco had been created and embraced by Black people, Latino people, LGBT+ people, and women. It was fun and funky. It was freeing and empowering.

    …but *some* folks didn’t like having disco balls shoved in their faces. So, when a 24-year-old Chicago shock jock began hosting “death to disco” rallies at local bars, he developed a loyal following of young, disgruntled dudes. The shock jock’s popularity soon caught the eye of the Chicago White Sox. They needed to sell tickets for an upcoming doubleheader. What if they ran a “Disco Demolition Night” promotion? It would be totally fun! Things definitely wouldn’t get out of hand!

  • 61: AAirpass: American Airlines’ Best Worst Idea

    61: AAirpass: American Airlines’ Best Worst Idea
    Jul 2 2025
    In 1981, American Airlines offered an incredible deal. For just $250k, people could purchase a lifetime pass that entitled them to unlimited first class travel, anywhere the airline flew, for the rest of their lives. People could also purchase a companion pass that would allow anyone to fly with them.

    They called it the AAirpass. It didn’t take long for the airline to discover that they’d priced the AAirpass too low. Way too low.

    Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
    “The frequent fliers who flew too much,” by Ken Bensinger for the Los Angeles Times
    “My father had a lifelong ticket to fly anywhere. Then they took it away,” by Caroline Rothstein for Narratively

    “‘Free’quent flier has wings clipped after American Airlines takes away his unlimited pass,” by Kate Briquelet, for the New York Post
    “Extreme frequent fliers sue American Airlines over loss of unlimited lifetime ticket,” by Erin McLaughlin for ABC News

I like the chemistry and how they are laid back and fun. They share history with an interesting way.

Great couple podcast

I was extremely sad when Let’s go to Court ended. I was very nervous to try out the new podcast but it did not disappoint. I LOVE the detail in depth stories you’ve told so far. So many podcasts are like “lemme tell you everything about WWII in 30 minutes”, I don’t like it, I want the deets. I enjoy the tangents, they make me laugh. Your at-ease fun demeanors make listening relaxing. Keep up the good work and Norm get rid of the squishy ball noises, they make me feel queasy.

in depth, educational, and a ton of fun

I love this podcast! the topics vary which keeps things really interesting. Kristin and Norm do an excellent job going into deep dives on all the topics and the effort really shows. It's never boring. they keep it interesting as well as hilarious so you'll be laughing as you learn all kinds of stuff. the chemistry between the two is wonderful, refreshing, and HILARIOUS! I know I keep saying the word "hilarious" but its just so fitting! Did I mention that I love it? Wonderful podcast.

Hilarious, fun, and quite random indeed.

If you're a fan of LGTC then you already know how great this podcast is. If you're new to the podcast then I'll tell you, it's amazing. Kristin and Norm are fabulous story tellers and so funny. Highly recommend for anyone that loves history and comedy.

Hilarious and Educational

I like the in depth stories about interesting topics, I would never research myself! They are funny, likable, and relatable. I’m a Let’s Go to Court fan and I’m so happy Kristen and Norm decided to stay on “the air.” Can’t wait for DP to make an appearance. I look forward to new episodes each week!

I like Norm & Kristen

I love the deep dive we had with the John Brown episodes. History is meant to be put in context, so going in depth on the topics is great. I love the dynamic of the hosts and the humor they bring.

Funny and informative

I might have to shout out loud! Goofy Movie puns aside, this is a fun ride so far! I look forward to more amazing episodes!

These podcasters really "Stand Out"

Very fun and interesting topics, the hosts are super dull and think they're really funny when they aren't. It also takes them FOREVER to start actually talking about the topic.
