Half-Arsed History podcast joins Acast Creator Network

Independent podcast company Acast has signed the popular Half-Arsed History podcast to its growing Acast Creator Network.

Boasting six million all-time listens, Half-Arsed History takes listeners on a journey through the ages, blending humour, insight and unforgettable tales from the past.

Since launching in 2018, the podcast has established a loyal and engaged audience purely through audio, without the support of a social media or video component.

The podcast recently caught the attention of Spotify, which included the show in its 2023 RADAR program.

Hosted by Riley Knight, Half-Arsed History highlights absurd and entertaining stories from the past, ranging from the history of the toilet to the lost secret of Greek fire.

Knight says “In high school, my Year 11 history teacher gave me a failing grade, saying my work consisted of ‘a series of unsubstantiated generalisations with no evidence.’”

“I’m proud to say that absolutely nothing has changed since then. It’s still a mystery as to why Acast have agreed to pick up my tinpot history podcast although I’m very glad they did.”
