Did you ever have the sneaking suspicion that when your history teacher rolled out the old A/V cart for movie time that he was completely hungover? Or that that one teacher who seemed to hate you on a molecular level was giving you bad grades on purpose? Chances are you were right and we have the evidence to prove it: full admissions of guilt from actual teachers. Suck it, Mr. McKinley!

Yes, we got real (and anonymous) teachers to come on the podcast and dish the dirt about the real behind-the-scenes of this supposedly squeaky-clean profession. Spoiler alert: teachers are all hot messes.

Interviewing our panel of masked and maybe inebriated educators, Jack O’Brien is joined by Cracked’s Soren Bowie and Daniel O’Brien as well as Andrew Orvedahl and Maria Thayer from truTV’s hilarious show ‘Those Who Can’t’. They share some all-too-common stories about teachers sleeping with their students, some tips for spotting the teacher who’s secretly living at the school and why the teachers who instruct the youngest grades are the most likely to be drunk. Catch ‘Those Who Can’t’ Thursdays on truTV.

When Grace Lin was a kid, she hated being Chinese. In this interview, the Newbery-award-winning author talks about how a handful of boring books and an inquisitive Italian helped her to embrace her parents’ culture. To join the conversation, go to www.longestshortesttime.com!

About four years ago, director Alex Horwitz began bugging his friend Lin-Manuel Miranda to film him as he worked on his latest project: a set of songs about Alexander Hamilton. Miranda wasn’t sure yet if they would become a show or a concept album.

“I don’t really care,” Horwitz recalls telling Miranda. “I just want to follow you telling history— whatever form that takes.”

Hamilton’s America, the resulting documentary, premieres Friday, October 21st on PBS.

Horwitz discusses meeting Miranda as freshmen at Wesleyan University, filming with President Obama at the White House and the abysmal things America’s founders said about one another.

Last Halloween (https://goo.gl/Eu1CJU) we spooked you with  a melange of real-life horror stories that had little explanation. There was the dead girl who was found in a water tower above the hotel where she went missing. Security tapes were inconclusive, except for one minor detail: it appeared as if she was hiding and running away from…absolutely nothing. Was it a ghost? An inter-dimensional monster? A coked-up Harry Potter in his invisibility cloak? We have no idea. Scary.

There was also the story of Major Henry Rathbone, the unfortunate fellow who took the invitation of Abraham Lincoln to see a play at Ford’s Theater. Rathbone was so wracked by guilt over Lincoln’s death that he straight-up turned into Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining’ and slaughtered his whole family. Horrifying.

So in anticipation of All Hallow’s Eve, Jack O’Brien is joined by first time co-host Nick Mundy as well as Cracked’s Carmen Angelica and Josh Sargent and comedians Eric Lampaert, Ryan Singer and Anna Seregina to share more macabre and strange stories that actually happened. They’ll discuss the thousands of missing people in our national parks and why the government may be covering it up, the French impostor who killed his entire family, the scary clowns that are tormenting America right now, the French Jack the Ripper and the famous serial killer H.H. Holmes, who may be the actual Jack the Ripper.
