    How to Disappear: Raymond Grady Stansel
    Jun 5 2025

    An ocean-loving, expert mariner Florida man made his living transporting bales of marijuana until the law caught up with him. Then he went to a land down under, where women glow and men plunder (as they say in the song). He made a new life for himself there. Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover.

  • Black Bart: the Outlaw Folk Hero Poet

    Black Bart: the Outlaw Folk Hero Poet
    Jun 3 2025

    Black Bart was not his government name. While the name was fearsome and his occupation as a stagecoach robbing outlaw was typically violent and careers short-lived, Black Bart was the opposite in every way. He was a gentleman outlaw folk hero who never hurt anyone. Not only that, he left poems for the lawmen chasing after him. The secret to his success? Black Bart was not at all what anyone expected!

Binged all available episodes in one sitting. Belly laughed on each one. So many plot twists I did NOT see coming. People are crazy and entertaining.

Quite Amusing

I was skeptical at first because similar shows either have more banter than content or the hosts aren’t knowledgeable. Elizabeth and Zarin are very knowledgeable about their content and have just enough banter to make it entertaining, interesting and funny without making it too over the top. Bravo to them for making this one of best shows like this anywhere really.

Well delivered history

This podcast is particularly enjoyable because it’s entertaining and educational enough to get absorbed into, but has just enough banter and discussion so that you don’t have to hang off of every word to understand what’s going on. I get a good chuckle and I learn something new. That’s my idea of a great podcast.

So much fun

I can’t believe someone had the nerve to call Elizabeth Dutton ‘awful’. She is brilliant and hilarious. I could listen to her tell me a story about literally anything and I’m positive she would make it amusing and well worth my time. I listen to ALOT of podcasts. Many hours of my day are spent listening to different hosts, different formats, and different topics. This one is definitely in my top 5. I typically despise excessive host to host banter with their cringey efforts to be funny, but these two are not that at all. I find them truly charming and witty. They provide just the right amount of commentary and tend to stick to the story instead of going off on some obnoxious tangent like so many do. The host(s) make or break a podcast for me and I can make that decision within the first 10 minutes of a single episode. I’m hooked on this one. I find myself genuinely laughing periodically through each episode.

Wonderful rapport between Elizabeth and Zaron. Charming even when they drift off topic and manage to find their way back

A delight

I subscribed to this podcast from the trailer ads on audible. I was excited to listen but couldn't stand it. The stories seem interesting, but the hosts of this podcast are awful and spend too much time engaged in banter between the two of them thinking they are comedians. I felt the details were drawn out before getting into the story
