Where was the last podcast on the left filmed?
In 2018, after touring the US with our Last Podcast on the Left stage show, we filmed it at Thalia Hall in Chicago. And then we made an entirely different show in 2019, toured that across the US and Europe and the UK, and then filmed that show in New Orleans.
Who is the host of Last Podcast on the Left?
Last Podcast on the Left barrels headlong into all things horror — as hosts Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks and Henry Zebrowski cover dark subjects spanning Jeffrey Dahmer, werewolves, Jonestown, iconic hauntings, the history of war crimes, and more.
Episodes 323-325 - "The Men In Black"
The paranormal phenomena of "Men In Black" has become a staple cliche of the conspiracy science fiction genre. However, in their three-part series about the "Men In Black," Last Podcast explored the modern mythology of the phenomena as well as the historical references to similar sightings.
Episodes 352-354 - "Skinwalker Ranch"
The notorious parcel of land in the American west known as Skinwalker Ranch has become a bastion of paranormal activity and is the source of numerous books and podcasts.
Episodes 335-337 - "The West Memphis Three"
Though Last Podcast On The Left has covered their fair share of true crime stories over the years, few were as uniquely frightening as that of the West Memphis Three. The three-part series covers the events of a real life murder in West Memphis Arkansas and three teenage boys who were railroaded into prison for a crime they didn't commit.
Episodes 169-170 - "Betty And Barney Hill"
Usually, the UFO stories covered on Last Podcast have a rather innocuous feeling. Though the supposed witness is shaken by their experience, they are largely left unharmed, but the case of Betty and Barney Hill was different. The two-part series covers the experiences of a real life couple whose supposed abduction ruined their lives.
Episodes 50-60 - "BTK"
It took a while for Last Podcast to find its footing but their BTK series was the first glimpse of what the show would become in the future. While most of their early series were brief explorations of topics, their two-part series on the BTK killer showed a new depth of research for the fledgling podcast.
Episodes 331-332 - "The Donner Party"
Over the years, Last Podcast On The Left has shown growth as a show and has progressed into more historical topics. One of their first forays into history was their harrowing two-part series on the Donner Party and the various calamities that befell the travelers.
Episodes 300-304 - "Jonestown"
One of the other areas explored by Last Podcast is the strange and terrifying world of cults. In their extensive five-part series, Last Podcast tackled one of the world's most famous cults, the People's Temple, and followed the story from the humble beginnings to the gruesome end.
How Can Comedy This Irreverent Be This Professional?
As the show matured it has added mid week, topical news story related shows that keep the audience engaged and LPOTL top of mind. Last Podcast on the Left works most of their best subjects into multi part, multi hour series. These deep dives draw the audience back again and again.
LPOTL Best of: Cannibalism
Just in time for the best (no family gatherings) Thanksgiving in the weirdest year on record, the guys take a walk down memory lane. You might want to bring your own snacks for this one. Maybe veer away from jerky. Who knows what is in a processed meat stick anyway? Science? I doubt it.
LPOTL Best of Roswell
It would be patently difficult to have a show that covers crazy without talking about Roswell. Aliens tend to factor in, often, in these stories. And the boys indulge the Roswell story, many times, on Last Podcast on the Left for good reason. A best of compilation is a great place to dip your toe into the conspiratorial waters.
LPOTL Side Stories – RIP Art Bell
Kicking off the mini midweek episodes, Ben and Henry eulogize the late night AM legend Art Bell. If you’re of a certain age, your grandma would recount wild tales of Chupacabra, the occult, and other inappropriate musings ripped straight from the man himself.
