The Town Criers
The Town Criers is a witty, research-fueled deep dive into history. The culmination of award-winning journalist Kaitlyn Klepec’s investigative experience and Lila Ruppe’s comedy writing background, the podcast finds laughs in exploring humanity’s roots. Would you survive as a medieval peasant? What would you tell a Victorian child if you only had five seconds? Kaitlyn and Lila take to the past to answer these questions while seamlessly blending history and comedy.
