Dark history, bad taste, live-wire banter.
Sick and Wrong Podcast turns grim history, public scandal, conspiratorial weirdness, and everyday irritations into fast, combative comedy. Its appeal is the loose chemistry: topic setup, detours, disbelief, and a willingness to laugh near material most shows would handle carefully.

Sick and Wrong Podcast is a dark comedy show with a taste for infamous history, ugly scandals, and jokes that arrive before the moral paperwork is filed. The conversations are loose but forceful. Dee Simon and Kate Rambo often begin with ordinary annoyance, a holiday question, a work complaint, or a stray pop-culture reference, then slide into material with far sharper edges. Recent episodes have covered Abu Ghraib, Ravensbruck medical experiments, Eva Peron, the Manson murders, Donald Fox, Jeffrey Dahmer-adjacent workplace memories, and the strange afterlives of internet villains. The show does not behave like a documentary. It behaves like two people arguing their way through a folder of cursed facts while refusing to let the room get too solemn. That looseness is the point. A topic may be introduced through funeral plans, heat-wave misery, Christmas television negotiations, or a question about whether a water bottle could be tampered with at work. Then the episode pivots into history, crime, or cultural decay with little ceremony. The pacing is quick. The humor is dry, abrasive, and intentionally uncomfortable, especially when the subject matter involves war, cult murder, torture, sex, illness, or public disgrace. It can be callous on purpose, but it is rarely detached. The speakers keep reacting to each other in real time, pushing a premise until it becomes stranger, meaner, or more absurd than where it began. That makes the show feel lived-in rather than produced. It also means the structure can wander. Listeners expecting clean exposition or careful sensitivity will probably bounce off the first long tangent. Listeners who enjoy hostile banter, taboo historical corners, and comedy that keeps laughing at the wrong moment will recognize the machinery quickly. Sick and Wrong Podcast’s identity is in that collision: curiosity about the worst stories, delivered through a duo that would rather needle the subject than polish it.
Made for: For listeners who like dark comedy, true-crime-adjacent history, and abrasive conversational shows that wander through taboo material without a classroom tone. It is best suited to people comfortable with blunt jokes around grim subjects.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its combination of duo chemistry and a refusal to separate everyday banter from grotesque historical material. It feels less like a scripted case file and more like an argument that keeps uncovering worse facts.
The Sick and Wrong Podcast is your chaperone through the depraved corners of modern life and your gateway into the comedy of the pathetic, exploring everything from internet conspiracies and the occult to true crime and paranormal phenomena. Hosts Dee Simon and Kate Rambo wade through the weirdest of the weird, from the sex cults and brutal murders of yesteryear to the internet conspiracies of today. Sick and Wrong is one of the longest running indie comedy podcasts, diddling while Rome burns since 2006.
