Jakob Naustdal is the host of Tyrann, an NRK podcast exploring some of the most infamous tyrants in human history. The podcast is the Norwegian version of the Danish series of the same name and focuses on murderous, corrupt, and power-hungry leaders whose actions have left the world a worse place, often through stories that are as disturbing as they are extraordinary.
Tyrann quickly became one of Norway’s most listened-to podcasts. It debuted at number five on the podcast charts in week 43 of 2024 with more than 100,000 unique listeners, and just three weeks later reached second place with over 137,000 unique listeners.
