Celebrity Authors, Dr. Seuss, Forrest Carter, Hans Christian Anderson, J.M. Barrie, Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton, The Suicide Notes.

Twisted History is a petulant and irreverent look at the darker side of history hosted by two guys (Large and Vibbs) who had to look up the words “petulant” and “irreverent”. It’s been called a "delightful romp through the annals of murder and mayhem” by Large’s wife, and the series aims to entertain by shedding light onto some of the weirder skeletons that reside within the closets of History, Sports, Music, Politics, and Celebrity. Presented by Barstool Sports.
