What listeners will find here
A chaotic tour through medicine’s weirdest ideas, from dock leaves to diabetic harvests
The history of medicine gets the Fin vs History treatment in a part one that jumps from early remedies and bodily theories to modern wellness culture. Expect a fast, irreverent run through cold cures, Chinese medicine, Bryan Johnson, and plenty of gross-out detours.
Prohibition, nightlife, and a very wrong Baby Hitler detour with Gianmarco Soresi
Prohibition Part 2 turns to the birth of modern nightlife, with Gianmarco Soresi joining Fin for a history-comedy episode full of odd detours and club-culture questions. Expect jokes, chaos, and a loose tour through how everyone supposedly becomes cool.
Prohibition begins with drunk children, saloon smashers, and a very chaotic America
Prohibition kicks off with a comic look at the social panic, moral crusading, and strange characters surrounding America’s war on alcohol. Expect a fast-moving first part that mixes temperance politics, culture-war absurdity, and plenty of barbed jokes.
Napoleon’s last island chapter gets bleak, bizarre, and very Fin vs History
Napoleon’s final exile on Saint Helena closes out the Napoleonic Wars series with a mix of decline, bloodshed, and absurd detail. Expect a comic-history take on his confinement, fading power, and the strange afterlife of his legend.
Waterloo gets weird: piles, pigs, and Napoleonic chaos
The Battle of Waterloo takes center stage in this ninth Napoleonic Wars episode, with a comic detour through piles, pigs, and battlefield mishaps. It looks like a loose, irreverent run through the confusion, personalities, and grim absurdity of one of history’s most famous clashes.
