Heather’s research, Connor’s wit, and Anthony’s charm collide to bring a bi-weekly podcast celebrating the stories of courageous women and men who have been shunned by society because of their trade, sexual preferences, or free love thinking and still manage to become prominent people in history that you don’t learn about in school.

Lunatics Radio Hour is a non-fiction history podcast about the history of horror and the horror of history. Each episode explores real, documented events where fear, violence, survival, and the unknown shaped human lives and cultures. The show also traces how historical events influenced film, examining how real-world horrors became the stories and images that appear on screen.

Topics include dark history, psychological phenomena, folklore rooted in fact, and the historical roots of horror cinema. Most episodes focus on researched historical subjects. Occasional short fiction stories are included and clearly labeled.

If you’re drawn to the darker side of history and the real events behind horror films, Lunatics Radio Hour explores where history, fear, and cinema intersect.

The podcast edition of How to Start a War, the audiobook. Unlike any audiobook you’ve ever listened to, Michael Trapani immerses listeners in the dramatic events that led to the crime of the century – World War II and the Holocaust – documenting the actions of the criminals who carried it out.

A gripping blend of narrative storytelling and dramatized scenes and characters, How to Start a War feels like a Golden Age radio drama. Far from a dry history lesson, How to Start a War is a resonant and compelling story about what happens when good people do nothing to stop the worst evils while they still can.

The complete version of the story is available as an audiobook on Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and wherever you get audiobooks.
