Our take on Very Special Episodes podcast

Very Special Episodes drops every Wednesday, packed with stories that'll make you do a double-take. Dana Schwartz, Zaron Burnett, and Jason English dig up the most jaw-dropping tales from history and pop culture. Ever heard about the Titanic movie set going bonkers because of PCP? That's just a taste. Each episode is a wild ride, filled with the kind of stories you'll be itching to talk about. It's the kind of storytelling that keeps you hooked, sprinkled with moments that'll have you asking how could that really happen. Very Special Episodes is a history podcast by iHeartPodcasts.
