Investigative journalist Nellie Bly gets her first big break...by pretending she's crazy.

Investigative journalist Nellie Bly gets her first big break...by pretending she's crazy.

From famous founders to capitalist cooks, from sex scandals to the dirtiest blues song, AMERICAN FILTH dives into the filthier side of American history: uncovering people who society has largely excluded from the history books because they were too unconventional, provocative, seedy, dirty, trashy…. Or just plain filthy. And sure, some of these folks made great contributions to history. But that’s not the part of their lives AMERICAN FILTH is interested in. This podcast is here for the drama, the spice, and general tomfoolery. The weekly series of brisk episodes plunges face-first into the dirtiest events and people in the annals of American history.

I come bearing big news that many of you will weep about for years to come: American Filth has come to a close for the foreseeable future. But don't worry...

While I'm departing the iHeart Cinematic Universe, I'm heading out to uncharted territory and starting two new podcasts for you, my friends of filth. Here are the shows...

America Is Perfect! features my comedic commentaries on the PERFECT people and events that are shaping our PERFECT nation. Because as we know, nothing bad ever happens in America! (Doth you sense the sarcasm??) You can listen to that show wherever you listen to podcasts. Apple. Spotify. Etc. First episode drops next Friday, 11/21. 

America is Perfect! THE PAST is the same idea, but about the PERFECT events and people of the past. You can listen to this show exclusively on Patreon with a monthly pledge of $5 or $10. Here's the link to that. Episode 1 is already available to stream.
