It’s the humor. What makes Last Podcast on the Left ‘s (or LPOTL’s) humor work is the host’s clear affinity for the subjects they’re talking about. The subjects aren’t funny.

Is it necessary to watch LOPTL?

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theory enthusiast to enjoy LOPTL. It’s not remotely necessary.

The story of Bill Cooper is just such an illuminating story.
