Infamous America - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I stumbled upon these podcasts while traveling across the country as a truck driver. What an amazing find! Chris’s voice paired the background audio really brings these stories to life. I have attempted to listen to many podcasts to help pass the time while chugging down America’s highways. No other podcasts seemed to keep me engaged and entertained in the same manner as the black barrel media series. Well done Chris! I absolutely love listening to the stories you tell.

I just finished season 3 about Billy the Kid and it was enthralling and so informative. Probably the most detailed account of The Kid I’ve ever encountered. Highly recommend if you’re interested in the Old West and Billy the Kid!

I remember hearing my parents talking about Patty Hearst when I was a kid, but I didn’t know the details. This series on Infamous America filled me in. There was just the right balance of interesting details and big picture narrative, and the story is told with a wry humor when appropriate and sympathetically at the more tragic moments. I highly highly recommend this particular season if the crazy 1970s interests you!

I love history and I really like that this podcast talks about the darker side of our history. It’s a really interesting podcast that easily makes you want to listen to more. And the narrator is great!
