About the show
A weekly comedy history podcast covering the socio-political disasters, bad decisions, and failures that shaped the modern world. Every week, Lev asks the question nobody in the history books thought to ask: how did things get this bad, and who let it happen? From the housing crisis and the decline in living standards over the last decade, to the history of outrage and why politicians never know when to leave, this is history told with the bluntness it deserves.
New episodes every week.
