About this listen

If you waited by the TV for new episodes of “Are You Afraid of the Dark” each weekend or wasted study hall reading the weird parts of the encyclopedia, this one’s for you SPECIFICALLY. “Human F*ckery” pits a doctor of psychology and an investigative journalist against one another in a battle of wits, research, and creative storytelling. Each episode the curious pair get assigned a topic. Then, they go spelunking through history’s colon in an effort to find the most jaw-dropping, unbelievable, and utterly bonkers examples of that topic buried in the dark history deposited by our collective ancestors. What’s the point? To captivate, occasionally horrify, and accidentally educate a rotating panel of judges—including you, the listener—into crowning one of our hosts the winner. This irreverent showcase for darker narratives buried in the historic trash heap was the winner of 2021’s Best of the Beat Award here in New Orleans, which means it’s enjoyed by people besides the hosts’ parents.

    As the days shorten and winter’s breath creeps in, Kim and Edward drag you back through humanity’s oldest fear: the season that tried to kill us first. From ancient harvest rituals to the fiery nightmare of the Wicker Man, this episode explores the panic, desperation, and creative fuckery our ancestors unleashed in their attempts to bargain with the cold.

    Joining us is Chris West, regenerative farmer, bassist for the heavy metal band Medicine Horse, and a man who literally lives inside the seasonal cycles our species keeps trying (and failing) to outsmart. We talk soil, death, music, and the thin line between feeding the land and feeding it people.

    After two long years in the shadows… Human Fuckery is back!

    Hosts Kim and Dr. Edward return to the mic for a brand-new season of chaos, curiosity, and true-life nightmares — starting with one of the most haunting tragedies ever to hit an amusement park: The Six Flags Haunted Castle Fire of 1984.

    Eight teens went in for fun. None made it out.

    With attorney Jacey Winn joining us to untangle the legal fallout, we dive into a story where illusion met negligence — and the line between entertainment and accountability went up in smoke.

    We missed you, spooky nerds. Let’s get weird again.

    Ghosts proposing marriage. Dead presidents playing the violin. Séances hosted by First Lady Lincoln in the Crimson Room—the White House is so much more paranormal than your high school history teacher ever let on.

    Originally recorded in 2021, this previously lost episode is now available. Hosts Kimberly and Edward join forces once again to explore one of America’s most haunted mansions. From Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth’s shared obsession with the occult to the telltale signs that a medium might be full of @*#$, this is one presidential haunting you won’t forget.
