What starts as a rational critique of the Reformation turns into a wild, sex crazed, blood thirsty, and heavily armed cult ruled by a man who thinks he can cure blindness by spitting in someone's eye while mass executions take place via comically oversized anime sword.
The Anabaptists of Munster eventually turn everyone against them from Martin Luther to the Catholics to their own believers who simply like their wives.
Content Warning: Everything, throughout the series.

Bro, comment checking castbox? Heck yeah! Keep doing great things!
cock sparer is a million times better than Green Day
one of my favourite history podcasts. hilarious and informative. I listen to it religiously.
Nate tries not to interrupt Joe every 5 seconds challenge: Impossible
you can't tell which way the wind blows without a weather man.
Also a young Karl Marx was a brawler.
22:10 I guess the Japanese military transformed into fox News fabricating lies that created riots like Jan 6th.
i wish I only spent 3 years in Kentucky
Tom's series are all dry and boring. His scripts are not as good as Joe's. I had to stop listening to both the IRA series and this one because I got so bored I couldn't pay attention. It would be unwise to let Tom write another series. This podcast loses it's magic when he does. Joe's scriptwriting abilities are much better. #NoMoreTom
personally I haven't had a full night of sleep since last year no matter what time I go to bed I get up at the same time.
Da comrade mouseawitz, our proletariat teeth shall destroy capitalism!
I wish My Chemical romance was thrown in a gulag and I would not have to hear their watered down fakes ass poser pop punk.
yes country goth music exists and it's fucking terrible.
And people wonder why I don't support the military, they never supported the workers. Why should I side with people willing to kill me and everyone I love to keep workers from basic human dignity.
the quality has clearly declined he last couple of years. joe might hold a phd, but the scripts are poorer and poorer written, read in a stilted manner and the superficiality of how the material is treated makes me prettt sure its generally based on a patted wiki search. its a shame though, it used to be pretty good at times
jeez, joe is such a libtard
I won't be surprised if it turns out that 3/4s of all strip club are just fronts for various criminal organizations, like the mob, or CIA
fuck I wish you were my teacher might have paid attention
what is the podcast and episodes that are the worst you guys done?
damn this hurts being a Canadian and knowing we finding children's body's under schools now it's sad shit
