True CrimeSolo hostAnimal attacksDark comedyTrue-crime adjacentStandalone episodesWeekly

Think true crime - but instead of serial killers, it’s bears, sharks, hippos, and the occasional murderous goose. From legendary predators to unexpected killers, we explore the science, history, culture, and chaos behind nature’s most shocking encounters. Man Eaters dives into real stories of animal attacks through history with healthy dose of laughter.

Why listen

Man Eaters turns animal-attack history into a darkly funny true-crime adjacent show, with host Jim Chaps unpacking infamous cases, weird deaths, predator behavior, and human decisions gone badly wrong. It is a good fit for listeners who like morbid stories, strange history, wildlife facts, and running segments like "Who Am I?" and "Scratch Of The Day" mixed into the case coverage.
