  • Summary

  • The crew at History Defeats Itself has been providing laughs and even a (very) little bit of education since 2019. With topics ranging from the fascinating to the seemingly mundane, Kevin, John, and Greg discuss events and people that exemplify how humans never really learn from their history. The show is part history podcast, part society and culture podcast, and all comedy podcast. Sometimes clever, sometimes sophomoric, but always entertaining, the boys are here every other Wednesday to put a smile on your face.
