Human F*ckeryAuthor: Human F*ckery
If you waited by the TV for new episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark each weekend or wasted study hall reading the weird parts of the encyclopedia, this ones for you SPECIFICALLY. Human F*ckery pits a doctor of psychology and an investigative journalist against one another in a battle of wits, research, and creative storytelling. Each episode the curious pair get assigned a topic. Then, they go spelunking through historys colon in an effort to find the most jaw-dropping, unbelievable, and utterly bonkers examples of that topic buried in the dark history deposited by our collective ancestors. Whats the point? To captivate, occasionally horrify, and accidentally educate a rotating panel of judgesincluding you, the listenerinto crowning one of our hosts the winner. This irreverent showcase for darker narratives buried in the historic trash heap was the winner of 2021s Best of the Beat Award here in New Orleans, which means its enjoyed by people besides the hosts parents.
