127: ABBA Rises, Falls and Rises Again! (Part 2)
About this podcast
History class just got hilariously inappropriate.
Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (16M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly.
In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes.
