About This Podcast
This is a podcast about real historical events that should not have happened.
But they did. Repeatedly. By adults.
Stupiracy is a weird history podcast where conspiracy, bizarre history, and absolute human stupidity collide in ways that should not be possible. And yet all of these stories are somehow completely real.
Hosted by Scott Rizzuto and Tim McKernan, this is where crazy true history, ridiculous historical facts, and conspiracy stories get explained clearly… and then immediately derailed into chaos.
We’re talking about history gone wrong.
We’re talking about historical oddities that feel made up.
We’re talking about stories so dumb they sound fake. They are not fake.
This is the dark history you didn’t learn in school. Mostly because no one thought it was a good idea to teach it.
Every episode dives into wild tales of stupidity, unbelievable historical events, and the kind of weird conspiracies that make you stop and go, “Wait… how did this actually happen?”
It’s part comedy history podcast, part conspiracy comedy, and part “who let this happen?” Which, historically, is a question that comes up a lot.
New episodes every Thursday.
Presented by CARSTAR – your auto body repair experts – locally owned with a nationwide guarantee.
Follow the Stupiracy podcast, leave a review, and tell a friend—because if enough people listen, this technically becomes educational. And that feels irresponsible.
