Kick Ass Oregon History

Kick Ass Oregon History (KAOH) is a Oregon history podcast based out of Portland. The podcast is done by the resident historian Doug Kenck-Crispin and host, editor, and producer Andy Lindberg.

About

KAOH released its first podcast in early 2011 and still continues to produce Oregon history laden podcasts for the listening public, often referring to their audience as "ass-kickers'. They aim to for to make history fun, rated PG-13, maybe even R. They provide some background and details to the story but also focus on the less revealed and the ribald. In their words, the Kick Ass Oregon History podcast covers just the good stuff: "Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll and Earth Shattering, Devastating Destruction."

In addition to their podcast, the resident historian Doug Kenck-Crispin also hosts the "Portland Sinful Walking Tour" and the KAOH Boom Boom Dynamo Show, a live show on the 3rd Thursday of each month at The Jack London Bar in Old Town.
