Friends & Listeners : John J King, Daniel Berger-Jones, and Kenneth Fuentes present a brand new stupidity full of cheap laughs and truly shocking facts from history: GET SHOCKED: The Podcast.
The Premise: John and Daniel dive deep on the most shocking topics we can think of, from the practice of EATING MUMMIES, to the history of natural but still taboo functions: POOP and ANAL SEX. Need more? We’ve got Frida Kahlo, Real Vampires, LSD, MesoAmerican Blood Sacrifice, the strangest things people have ever eaten, and much, much more.
Each episode, we Pop-Quiz each other. Every wrong answer earns an increasingly sharp, high-voltage electric shock.
(Don’t believe us? Watch the Trailer)
The Shocker with the most shocks receives a surprise challenge that is sure to delight. Along the way, you’ll hear real stories and fun facts from history, culture and science.
**WARNING** This podcast is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. It is NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN or FDA APPROVED. Doctors may one day search for a cure.

Not sold? Here’s the nitty gritty: Making GET SHOCKED has cost us dearly, and not only in brain cells. Shocking you and ourselves has racked up costs for Editing, Equipment, Music Rights, Hosting and Distribution.
If you find this project appealing, WE APPEAL TO YOU, to support this show at one of the following donation levels, earning REWARDS along with our sincerest thanks.
As our fiscal sponsor, Boston History Company, is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization, your donation will be tax deductible, as this podcast, incredibly, fits with their mission to bring history, literature, art, and science to diverse and unusual audiences.

A $20 donation earns you our thanks, and we super appreciate it. This covers the cost of getting together in the same room for one episode! THANK YOU!!!
Level 2: $40 (40 Volts – “Ooh! That Tickles!”)
A $40 Donation covers the cost of ONE SHOCK BOX! You’re naughty, and we love you for it. To show our thanks, we will instantly send you a DropBox link for a sneak peek of an early episode, exploring the life and art of Frida Kahlo.

Your gift of $60 earns our thanks, a link to our Frida episode, and a signed photo of the Shocker of your choice, getting shocked.

Your generous $100 Gift earns you all of the rewards above, along with exclusive access to a BONUS EPISODE of all the best bits we cut for time, delivered at the end of Season 1.

With your generous $2500 donation, you’ve covered the cost of an entire episode, including paying these three humans for their contributions, time and skills. (DOES NOT COVER MEDICAL COSTS STEMMING FROM SHOCKS).
In immeasurable thanks, we will give you the full range of rewards above. We will also give you a direct THANK YOU Shout Out during and after an episode. And we’ll happily record either:
Season Sponsor: $50,000 (250 Volts – “POKE. POKE. HEY? YOU OKAY??”)
If you work for a corporation with a charitable contributions department, or if you just happened to listen to our podcast and think "THIS is how history should be taught: violence, love, scandal and sh*t, like the real-life romance novel it is,” AND you can afford a $50,000 sponsorship, you’ll receive all rewards above – including real or fake commercials – repeated mentions of your name or company each episode, and we’d be thrilled to create a segment in your name to include in future episodes.
If you do choose this option, please email [email protected] or call Daniel at 413-230-8729 for an address to send a check, as that's just too much to pay credit card fees on.
