The History Hyenas podcast ended in March 2021. The hosts, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas, decided to pursue separate projects.
The History Hyenas was a comedic podcast that blended discussions of historical events with humor. Hosted by comedians Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas, the show gained a dedicated following for its unique take on history and current events. However, in early 2021, the hosts announced that the podcast would be coming to an end. The decision was influenced by a variety of factors, including the hosts’ desire to focus on their individual careers.
Chris Distefano, known for his stand-up comedy and television appearances, wanted to dedicate more time to his comedy specials, acting roles, and another podcast he was hosting. Yannis Pappas, also a stand-up comedian, was looking to explore new creative opportunities, including writing and performing. The duo expressed their gratitude to their fans and the community they had built around the podcast.
The end of the History Hyenas was met with disappointment from fans, but both hosts encouraged their listeners to continue supporting them in their separate endeavors. The podcast’s episodes remain available for fans to revisit, and both Distefano and Pappas continue to be active in the comedy scene, often referencing their time on the podcast fondly in their new projects.
