About Humans Being Awful

Humans Being Awful is a solo true crime podcast about what people sometimes get away with — murder, scams, cults, manipulation, and worse. Each episode breaks down one real story. Sometimes it’s a headline case. Sometimes it barely made the news. But the pattern is often the same: someone causes harm, and the system lets it happen. Just the story, the fallout, and what it reveals about the people involved. 🎧 Available on Spotify, YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

Room 1046: A Man Was Murdered in a Hotel Room. Still unsolved after 89 years - EP 03

A man checks into a Kansas City hotel under a fake name. Two days later, he’s found tortured and dying — inside a room locked from the outside. No weapon. No suspect. No answers. This is the case of Room 1046 — one of the strangest unsolved murders in U.S. history. Fake names. Mysterious phone calls. Letters sent after the victim was already dead. And nearly 90 years later, no one knows who killed him. Or why. — New episodes weekly. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple, or anywhere you get your podcasts 📰 Full source list: ⁠⁠humansbeingawfulpodcast.com⁠ [humansbeingawfulpodcast.com] Credits:"Music by Alexander Nakarada / https://www.creatorchords.com" #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMurder #LockedRoomMystery #Room1046 #ArtemusOgletree #RolandTOwen #ColdCase #HotelCrime #1930sCrime #HistoricalMystery #CreepyRealStories #RealCrimeStories #HumansBeingAwful

Card Cracking TikToks: How the Broke Get Blamed for Bank Fraud - Bonus EP 02

You’re broke. Rent’s due. Your DMs light up with someone offering to flip your $500 into $5,000. All they need is access to your bank account. It doesn’t feel like a scam. It looks normal — even popular. People post about it on TikTok and Instagram like it’s just another side hustle. But the check bounces. The scammer vanishes. And now your account is frozen, flagged, or gone. This episode looks at “card cracking” — a fast-growing form of fraud that spreads on social media and disproportionately affects people with the least to lose. We break down how the scam works, who really runs it, and why the people getting punished are often just the broke, the young, or the confused. Banks cut them off. Fraud systems mark them for life. And there’s almost no way back in. This isn’t about clever criminals. It’s about how financial desperation gets used — and who ends up paying for it. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple, or anywhere you get your podcasts 📰 Full source list: ⁠humansbeingawfulpodcast.com [humansbeingawfulpodcast.com] Credits:"Music by Alexander Nakarada / https://www.creatorchords.com" #truecrime #scam #bankfraud #tiktokscam #digitalpoverty #cardcracking #podcast #humansbeingawful

The Smiley Face Killer: How Reddit Got It Wrong - True Crime - EP 02

A string of drownings. A theory about a hidden serial killer. And a Reddit thread that went too far. In this episode of Humans Being Awful, we dive into the truth behind the Smiley Face Killer — the urban legend that just won’t die. From retired detectives and smiley face graffiti to Reddit sleuths suspecting strangers of murder, this is what happens when content, tragedy, and conspiracy collide. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple, or anywhere you get your podcasts 📰 Full source list: humansbeingawfulpodcast.com [humansbeingawfulpodcast.com] Credits:"Music by Alexander Nakarada / https://www.creatorchords.com" #TrueCrime #SmileyFaceKiller #RedditMystery #InternetDetectives #HumansBeingAwful #SerialKiller #RedditTrueCrime #RedditInvestigationGoneWrong

Pyramid or Cult? The Dark Truth About MLMs - Bonus 01

Is it a business… or a belief system? MLMs promise freedom, empowerment, and sisterhood. But what happens when that dream turns into control, guilt, and silence? In this episode of Humans Being Awful, we break down how multi-level marketing companies use cult-style tactics — from shame to toxic positivity — to keep people trapped inside a system designed to scam them. You’ll hear survivor testimony, expert insight, and the uncomfortable truth about how MLMs isolate critics, punish honesty, and exploit personal relationships for profit. This isn’t about bad business. It’s about dark psychology. 📰 Show notes & full source list: ⁠humansbeingawfulpodcast.com [humansbeingawfulpodcast.com] Credits:"Music by Alexander Nakarada / https://www.creatorchords.com" #MLM #MLMScam #MultiLevelMarketing #CultTactics #ToxicPositivity #LuLaRoe #FinancialFraud #SurvivorStories #DarkPsychology #HumansBeingAwful #Scams

The Voyeur Motel | AirBnB Hidden Cameras - True Crime - EP 01

What if your hotel room wasn’t private? What if someone was watching — and no one stopped them? This episode tells the true crime story of the “voyeur motel,” and what happened when it finally came to light. But we also look beyond that one case — into the hidden camera economy, the spy tech supply chain, the legal gray zones, and the normalization of being watched. From hotel ceilings to Airbnb bathrooms, from Shenzhen factories to affiliate blogs, this is the story of how surveillance got boring. And why that might be the scariest part. 📰 Show notes & full source list: ⁠⁠humansbeingawfulpodcast.com⁠ [humansbeingawfulpodcast.com] Credits:"Music by Alexander Nakarada / https://www.creatorchords.com" #truecrimepodcast #hiddencameracrimes #airbnbhorrorstory #reallifevoyeurism #hotelsurveillance #humansbeingawful #darkpsychology #hiddencameradetection #surveillancetechnology #truecrimedocumentary #illegalsurveillance #voyeurcasestudy #creepyhotelstory #truecrimepodcast

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
