Twisted History

History #166

Twisted History is a petulant and irreverent look at the darker side of history hosted by two guys (Large and Vibbs) who had to look up the words “petulant” and “irreverent”. It’s been called a "delightful romp through the annals of murder and mayhem” by Large’s wife, and the series aims to entertain by shedding light onto some of the weirder skeletons that reside within the closets of History, Sports, Music, Politics, and Celebrity. Presented by Barstool Sports.

    Favorite Podcast
    Love to listen to new history in a fun way. Glad the show is back in whatever form they are allowed!
  • Jensclean

    So glad you are back! My favorite podcast!

    LARGE
    I can’t get enough of this show. LARGE has THAT voice that’s calming and refreshing and Saint Anne is such a great researcher. Vibbs is great too w his thoughts and Indiana, not Jones, the state. Learn about the history they didn’t teach you in HS bc how fu€*ed it really is. It shows society’s evolution as a whole even further back than you’d ever think. Smoke a doobie, relax and enjoy the show.

  • Beit
    Thank you!
    The hours on hours of thing you don’t know. Hard to see this one gone. To everyone involved thank you very much.

    Gone not forgotten
    As a future history teacher this podcast was perfect for me to learn things I wasn’t being taught in college but now it’s gone, a bad call hopefully that is changed soon.

    I’m too late
    Just got into this podcast about a month ago and have already blown through almost an entire year of episodes. Can’t believe it’s going as soon as I found it. Large, Vibbs, St Anne, you’re all amazing and I hope to hear more from you guys when I eventually listen to all of the episodes. Thank y’all!

    Baby please don’t go
    I stumbled upon the Twisted History podcast just maybe two months ago. I went back and listened to several episodes. The first episode that got me hooked was the twisted history of Indiana. That is my home state and one that is overlooked way too often. Next I hear that one of your hosts is from Indiana as well. I just felt there was awesome connection. You guys revert back to Indiana a lot and it just makes me feel like I can really relate to what was discussed on those episodes. I live just a couple counties over from where Ryan White grew up. He and I were close in age and I remember him all throughout my junior and high school years. Again, it just made me feel like there was that authentic connection. I happened to start listening to the most recent Twisted History podcast and hear that this is coming to an end!?!? I kind of thought oh I shouldn’t listen to this episode yet being that I’m so new to Twisted History. I won’t be able to relate to a lot of the topics you would be discussing. I kind of wish I would have waited to listen because now I know there won’t be any more episodes after the next one. I feel like I just stumbled on probably one of the most interesting podcasts ever and the train is leaving before I am ready for you to go. I do look forward to going back and listening to all the episodes. You all will be missed but I also hope that you guys miss this so much that you can’t wait to come back. I have suggestions for new episodes if you need any ideas. Oh and yes, I’m a FEMALE follower. Just want to point out there are some female fans that love you guys.

    Gone too soon
    Would’ve listened to this podcast forever. Was top tier and can only hope it’s revived someday. Barstool made a mistake ending this one. Shout out Large & Crew.
  • :( twisted history fan
    Don’t Leave
    In my years and years of listening to podcasts, this is my first comment. I hate that this is going off the air. WTH is barstool thinking
  • Countryfan27213
    Best history podcast
    I’ve listened to every episode from the very beginning and these guys have made history so entertaining on a weekly basis. I’m truly heartbroken we won’t be getting more episodes. Thank you to the crew for a great show and hope it comes back in some way.
  • Charlo859
    It will be missed
    Love the chemistry of everyone for this show. I get business decisions have to be made, but I’m going to miss these guys.
  • willd333
    Almost the perfect podcast
    This podcast is great and like I said in the title for this review, almost perfect. I love how they mix dark humor and history. The only is the volume. I have no idea why I have to turn this podcast up so high to listen. When John talks it’s even harder to hear. Everything else is top notch, keep it up.
  • allwthr
    1984
    Like Large, born in 1971. 1984 episode is in my wheelhouse. I peaked that year. I had the same reaction Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Rough on the eyes, no bueno. You ever see Superman w/Christopher Revees? Margot Kidder is Lois Lane. Same thing, Man of Steel is doing much better. Yes I’m shallow
  • downtown Maggie
    Medal of Honor
    Love the stories and thank you for honoring and cleaning up out of respect. I wish you would have mentioned- in case you don’t know - that a new National Medal of Honor Museum will be opening next year in Arlington Texas, telling the stories and honoring the courage and value of the 3500 recipients of the National Medal of Honor.

    Gone down hill
    I’ve listened to this podcast since the beginning. Such a great podcast and I’ve learned so much! But the recent episodes have not been great. No one wants to hear about porn! And re-evaluate your topics and please try to remain focused when recording
  • DylanSabo
    Large and in charge
    Large is a great host. Dude is actually excited to tell us about cool stuff he’s learned. It’s not boring and there’s such a mish mash of different people and voices in the room that you get dope opinions. Maybe some stupid ones too, but that’s what makes it.
  • ansfbb
    Perfect mix
    This podcast is the perfect mix of history and comedy. You can tell a lot of research and time goes into this show.
  • greyson5803
    Easily jumped into my daily rotation
    I have stopped listening to the other podcasts that I follow until I listen to every episode of Twisted History. That’s how amazing it is
  • Ed Rotella

    Fun Way to Learn About Weird Parts of History
    This is a great podcast for road trips, if you travel gif work or spend a lot of hours in your car every week thus is a must listen podcast…Large is an excellent story teller… even when the episode is on something you think you already know everything about Large always has a new “twist” or fact that will add to or sometimes completely change your perspective…tell your friends to to listen and subscribe to keep this podcast’s numbers up

    Johnny Barstool
    1 star, cannot support anything Johnny barstool is apart of
  • cicc242
    Great listen
    Would listen to Large talk about anything but it’s also a great way to learn about to cool history and stories you may have only briefly heard of but never knew about. Also can’t beat listening to Saints Anne too!
  • Stu-Da-Baker
    Best PodCast + The 3 Chi-N-Me
    Big-Ups to all of you @ Twisted History & this mind-blowing podcast! Best one I’ve found… hands down + you got me going on that 3Chi! Keep doing what you’re doing. Love your show!
  • BuckeyeIL
    Awesome Stuff
    Large, Saint Anne and Vibbs are great. I enjoy any podcast that Large is on. I find the topics on this are engaging and presented in a way to learn something new. Great listens when out walking the dog. One comment with regards to the ad JP Grazianos “The official Barstool Chicago Beef Kit” is that it is really expensive, with $10 in shipping and I am in Chicago. The restaurant is great, though maybe work on reducing the shipping cost or a deal for free shipping.
  • GoSteelers420
    The best
    Very easy listening as well as educational, great podcast for both a historian and casual listeners.
  • Bostonmonsta
    I want to be large when I grow up
    Love listening to this. Loved Vibs from LTB and large is just phenomenal
  • SamuelSays
    Great Show
    Large was made to do radio/podcasts, Vibbs is also one of my favorite barstool personalities. Great show need more.
  • wild bill ooooo
    19.97/20.00
    I've been looking for it and I've found it haha amazing. Keep it up
  • Vanilluxe
    Love the Cast
    Love the podcast but 5 ads last show? That was a little excessive.
  • saynotopapajohn
    Obscene language
    Not recommend for children
  • chan42974
    LOVE LARGE, VIBS AND ANNIE
    Just finished the Lewis & Clark episode. Please please have Annie join you at the mic instead of behind the scenes more often. Love you guys so much. By far one of the best podcasts out there. Thanks for all the laughs and “ schooling” for very week. Greatest hosts in history… No pun intended!!
  • Four-0
    Verbal crutch
    Good premise and research but the host says “100 percent” between 20-40 times per episode. I was able to ignore it for a while but it seems to be increasing in frequency. If you can ignore that, it’s solid. I just can’t un-hear it now. It’s similar to listening to a 20 year old girl pepper her speech with “like”s. Grinding.
  • knows more than jack
    One of the best
    This is hands down my top 3 podcasts of the over 1 million podcasts- excellent delivery research and direction! I just found it days ago and have listened to a quarter of them- please keep up this gem of a podcast!!!
  • Myrtle Mike
    Daily listener
    Large is definitely in charge! Awesome podcast! Really enjoy my daily dose of Jeffery and hearing the facts we didn’t learn in school. I’d listen to the two men talk about literally anything. If Large speaks it, it’s true, unless Saint Anne says otherwise. This podcast will get wild because Vibs and Large hold nothing back. They bring the facts and will possibly give you a boner! You will enjoy yourself.
  • Dbthatsme
    The worst history podcast out there.
    If you would like more than a Wikipedia readout of “history” this is not for you.
  • Tj100000554322
    Best history pod out there
    Without question the best history pod out there. Large is a great addition to the barstool cast. Large delivers history in a interesting and entertaining way.
  • andster46848$
    Make Chief Co-Host!
    Can we get chief a permanent spot on the pod as a co-host??? Guy knows his history and makes listening so much more fun!
  • podagis
    A Large dose of history
    Super Entertaining and interesting topics. Can be really dark but history is f’d anyway so this is no surprise
