The Hat-Trick Podcast is a rough-edged true crime comedy show with conspiracy and paranormal cases sitting beside major historical tragedies. Its recent subjects give the shape clearly. There are episodes called Episode 61: The OKC Bombing Part 1, Episode 62: The OKC Bombing Part 2, Episode 59: Waco Pt. 1, Episode 60: Waco Pt. 2, Episode 63: Princess Diana, Episode 31: Chemtrails (With Matt King), and Episode 28: Men in Black (With Matt King). The show also features Episode 54: Interview With OKPRI, centered on Christine and Kathy from a paranormal research team. That spread matters. The Hat-Trick Podcast is not only chasing one kind of case; it keeps moving between the OKC Bombing, Waco, royal-death speculation, fringe theories, paranormal investigation, and Men in Black material. The handling is not polished documentary narration. It is conversation with scuffs left in. The speakers interrupt, correct details, wander into Oklahoma jokes, complain about work and illness, talk sports, and then return to the case material. Serious pieces still appear: names, places, timelines, compounds, getaway cars, negotiators, and historical groups come through in the excerpts. The comedy often arrives as deflation. A grim detail lands, then someone cuts through it with a crude comparison, a local joke, or an argument about whether a fact makes any sense. That gives the show a particular tension. It is casual enough to feel improvised, but the selected topics are often severe. The paranormal episode with OKPRI adds another lane, bringing Christine and Kathy into the room for stories and information connected to their research team. Matt King appears on the chemtrails and Men in Black episodes, where his presence becomes part of the joke as much as the topic. The Hat-Trick Podcast suits listeners who prefer unsanded group chemistry over studio-clean true crime. It is rowdy, digressive, and openly imperfect, with Oklahoma identity woven through the introductions, punch lines, and reference points.
Made for: Suits a listener who wants true crime, conspiracy, and paranormal topics filtered through blunt group banter rather than formal narration. Best fit for someone comfortable with dark subjects and rough-edged comedy.
What sets it apart: The show’s signature is its collision of severe cases with Oklahoma-rooted, off-the-cuff table talk. It can move from Waco or the OKC Bombing into sports jokes, local references, and self-corrections without smoothing the edges.
