The site was founded in 2016 by Adam Ford, who left in 2018 to pursue other projects.
In June 2019, a Babylon Bee podcast was launched by editor-in-chief Kyle Mann and creative director (read: Photoshop artist) Ethan Nicolle (illustrator of the webcomics ''Webcomic/AxeCop'' and ''[[Webcomic/BearMageddon Bearmageddon]]''). There are two types of episode: one where they discuss some of the site's stories from the previous week before moving onto a main topic, and another where they interview a guest, who have ranged from political commentors Michael Malice and Dave Rubin, Christian apologists Greg Koukl and Jeff Myers, and Christian celebrities Kevin Max and Creator/MikeNelson.
