  • Great podcast, horrible humans!

    Angela knows her stuff and is a great storyteller! This podcast is a good mix of true crime and history. It’s enlightening (and a bit terrifying) to realize how many horrible are out there and got away things). It’s obvious a lot of research goes into these episodes to make sure the facts are right.

  • Intriguing (and terrifying) history

    I am so excited about H.H.H. Angela does a great job of combining her in-depth knowledge of history and psychology to give us an peek into some of the worst people in history. She’s very conversational and it’s like listening to an old friend! I also appreciated that she didn’t swear (I feel like there is so much swearing in True Crime Podcasts!). I can’t wait for the next episode!
