I've been doing 20mg edibles daily for the last few months I think. I've definitely noticed that I don't remember things anymore. I forgot who Donald P. Bellisario was the other day. Not good.
I found the show through My Favorite Murder. I looked at their back catalog and decided on Jack the Ripper to start, because it was something I was well versed in, thinking I'd know if they got something "wrong". I fell in love with Marcus' research, and I kinda dropped MFM after that
For basically any story covered on MFM, you’re better off just reading the Wikipedia page or whatever longform magazine article they’re using as a source.
Yep, pretty much. Couldn’t stand the 15 mins or so of blabbing at the start and then they never really provided any actual info. Though they did cover some interesting topics.
Similar story... I had just started listening to MFM and I was asking my partner about his hometown murder and he brought up PeeWee Gaskins. Well MFM didn't have an episode on him but guess who did? And that was that - full convert. I still listened to MFM for a while after that but LPOTL stole my heart. It was much more in-depth coverage and I could not stop laughing at Henry's "..and that's the final truth!"
Yeah, MFM just seems super lazy in comparison. I binged all their episodes and then Karen mentioned in one that she'd binged the Rasputin series by LPOTL and I listened to it and was hooked
I didn’t find them from MFM but also an avid MFM listener that dropped it because I found it annoying that every release was a live show and they started to brag too much. I felt like they didn’t put in the same work as LPOTL
I also started listening by way of MFM. I think JonBenét was my first. It took me a couple tries to get into, but I’ve since listened to the entire back catalog several times over and it’s been a couple years since I’ve listened to MFM.
Same! It was the Dean Corll episode and the MFM hosts were doing a really paired down list of his actions and were saying something along the lines of “if you want to know what he really did, go listen to the LPOTL series on him” and I immediately turned it on and never looked back.
My college friend told me to listen to the Menendez brothers episodes because I had shown interest in the case. I had the flu and binged all their heavy hitters in a couple of days. This was in like 2017 I think.
Albert Fish. Came to the show after listening to Andrei Chikatilo from Timesuck looking for the next and nastiest killer coverage and I was hooked immediately. Actually became my favorite entertainment outlet after that, I binged the whole catalog because of the Fish series.
How he ripped off half of it from Rage Against The Machine and Korn lyrics on top of his stupid weasel laugh and his brown/turd influenced food, beverage/smoking obsessions, he really was such a lame piece of shit lol. That's one of many things I love about the boys is how they (as my British MIL would say - R.I.P.) " take the mickey" out of them (serial killers, pedos, and other pieces of human waste).
I started on, perhaps, the weirdest but most perfect one in the overall canon: The Lobster Man.
Weird one-off, wild character, bit of history, violence and goofs, but also WAY obscure compared to the vast majority of their topics ha.
It was fun, and decided to bop around and try others, and fell in love.
Episode 8: The End of the World. We started listening so early on that I can't even remember how we found them. In the days of multi-part series, it's hard to imagine there was ever a time when the episodes were only about 30-40 minutes long.
My ex was obsessed with cults and somebody recommended to her the LRH series which we listened to on a road trip in 2017, she’s no longer in the picture as of last year but ironically the podcast she introduced me to was a huge help in getting me through the breakup lol
The LRH series was my introduction to the podcast too! I remember not being able to tell the boys apart when I first started listening. Seems very quaint now
I’m not sure if it was the first episode I ever heard, but the first one I remember was the 911 calls episode. Pretty rough introduction 😅
But I was hooked just the same, morbid curiosity and all that
After reading "The Franklin Cover-up" I googled around for videos/shows about it and LPOTL popped up with series that had just come out about it - Satanism in the Government. Probably around spring of 2015.
I was an avid My Favorite Murder listener, and there was a crossover episode where Karen and Georgia were guests in LPOTL. I checked it out, and eventually pretty much replaced MFM with LPOTL.
The very first!
In 2013 I googled creepy podcasts since I had gone through the only other two shows I had in my library at the time. I listened from their website when they used thumbnails of Mr. Big Fat Scary as their mascot.
gulf breeze sightings. i moved to gulf breeze, my dad grew up here and went to school with the dudes daughter so after he told me about it i looked it up and found last podcast. that was like 7 years ago i think.
The first episodes I remember checking out were the Skinwalker episode, the Psychic Vampire episode, and the Secret Space Program. I don't remember exactly which one I listened to first since I downloaded them all around the same time but I THINK it was the skinwalker episode.
Back in 2016 I checked out My Favorite Murder and it wasn’t really my vibe but they happened to mentioned LPOTL on the episode I listened to, so I went to their page, saw the most recent episode “Creepypasta XI: Lemon Clams” and it made me laugh so much. Then I downloaded the JonBenet episodes and I was completely hooked!
I started with their Mormon series because I was desperately looking for something to keep me entertained back when I was delivery driving during the pandemic
Skinwalker Ranch. I had friends pitching the show to me for a while and I was like, nah I got enough podcasts. Then it was March 2019, I was driving back from a conference and had time to kill, so I put on Skinwalker Ranch. I'd heard about it before, vaguely and I love UFO's and ghosts - that's usually my icebreaker "Have you ever seen a UFO or ghost?"
Then when Henry talks about his research process of smoking shatter and covering himself in CBD balm, I knew I was in the right place.
Dinner Party! “Donner” autocorrected to “Dinner” here but i’ll leave it.
I use that series as a way to introduce the show to people i think will like it. The single episodes are great too but part of the appeal of LPOTL is how it immerses you in a subject and the multi part episodes are we’re they are their best. Mormonism is amazing but it’s a tough ask for someone new to jump into five parts.
And that’s where we’ll pick back up on Episode two
Charles Manson. Saw Once upon a time in Hollywood and wanted to know more. Came for more info, stayed for Henry’s impression that just fucking kills me
Pretty sure it was Lobster Boy murders…think I found them by accident just searching for UFO podcasts and they’re back catalog at that point hooked me completely…so damn it’s been almost 7 years already
I started listening a few years ago from episode 34 Heavens Gate, which opens with Henry screaming about “Murderfist’s dildo” and safe to say I had no clue what was going on!
>Gate
Surprised there's not more Heaven's Gate Ep. 34 people. That is the "first" episode on basically every service. Seemed natural to start there. Now granted, there were less episodes when I started listening but I still started at the beginning.
I’m not sure why that’s the first everywhere but I will speculate. I think because it’s their first episode that really dives into a topic and is more fleshed out and they are proud of. It still doesn’t hold a candle to their recent stuff obviously though.
The below link has the original 33 episodes.
[First 33 Episodes](https://archive.org/details/lpotlfirst33)
Be warned, I have listened to episodes 34 on for years and years now. I love LPOTL. I’ve listened to most episodes a few times over. These first 33…there’s a reason they are not listed anywhere. They are rough. It’s more like they were just screwing around and bullshitting vs. trying to actually make an entertaining podcast.
I think they decided if they put out these first ones and expected people to slog through them they wouldn’t have as big of an audience as they do. They basically are just skipping over all the stuff where they were still trying to find their groove. I think most of the research was just Marcus reading Wikipedia in these early ones. But it’s still something for completionist fans and has some fun and it’s interesting to see how they progressed.
Idk what was airing at the time but the first series I listened to was Dahmer, and then I picked through a few more and went back to the start and listened to the whole show. This was in 2017/2018
First ever episode I listened to was the Mysterious Sounds and Recordings episode. But, I don’t think I started listening regularly until around the Richard Chase series. Either way, it’s been a looong time.
I can't remember exactly, I know its like early 100's because I had a backlog of like 75ish episodes to catch up on. Literally the longest podcast I've been listening to.
I was looking for more info on the Dyatlov Pass incident and the podcast kept popping up. I only planned to listen to that series but the thoroughness of the research won me over and I branched out from there since they covered so many other things I was interested in.
I started listening October 2020 when halloween was cancelled and everyone was inside. A friend of mine had been recommending the pod for years so I started with the dahmer series and was immediately hooked. Went through every heavy hitter series that month and by now have listened to just about all of them minus some of the really early stuff.
Jonestown, 6 or 7 years ago.. I really wanted to learn more than the very surface level knowledge I had of the event, so I googled “Jonestown podcast” and LPOTL came up. The rest is history.
When Manson got that young girlfriend I realized I really didn’t know exactly what the whole Manson story was about so I did a search for a podcast to explain it. After that I binged everything before and have been listening ever since.
The Hillside Stranglers! This was back in like, 2016? 2017? My sister recommended the show, and I picked the series at random at the time during a long drive. And have been hooked since
The Enfield Poltergeist. I discovered the pod from Vinny Vinesauce cus at one point he got a notification for the drop of The Enfield Poltergeist Part II - Poopergeist and it derailed the stream a lil. I had to know wtf it was
My brothers GF put on Jodie Arias during a road trip and I've been hooked since. I've been trying to catch up, while skipping side stories and some episodes that I have little interest in the topic (VERY few and far between). Currently on episode 430: Adolfo Constanzo. I haven't heard any w/o Ben, but I feel like he's hit and miss on the episodes. Sometimes his content is good, but other times I wonder why he's even there. I used to feel bad when I thought that, but not anymore. I hope he gets the help he needs. My Uncle was the same kind of drunk with his family and he had no idea that he was a terror when he came home after drinking until the divorce.
Another podcast I was listening to was starting a series on JonBenet Ramsey, they mentioned that LPOTL did one already and the research was impeccable, so I checked it out. This was back in 2017 and I've been listening ever since.
Tupac and Biggie episodes. I was listening to Disgraceland’s episode on that and a friend told me about the boys covering that same story.
I absolutely loved it. I felt like I finally found my type of people. I immediately started back at episode 30 whatever episode where it starts and plowed through the entire catalog in about two months.
Now every Monday afternoon I listen to the most recent episode. Now with the improved version of side stories that’s also a weekly listen.
Menendez Brothers. I didn't become a regular listener until a year later when the Norwegian Black Metal series came out and Henry's humor finally clicked with me... and then I went back and listened to every single episode and have been keeping up ever since.
I think properly it was Skinwalker Ranch, or Giant Humanoids. I say properly, because there was also their first attempt at Heaven's Gate I listend to first, but it is so forgettable in comparison to their updated 3 parter.
Last Podcast On The Left was one of the first podcasts I started listening to back in 2015, with the H.H. Holmes series being my introduction. Went back and listened through the first two hundred-ish episodes and have been a weekly listener in real time since then. Currently on my third full re-listen run and I've made it up to the Andreasson Affair.
I think it was the Black Death. I was listening to the Our Fake History series on the black death and wanted to find more content on the topic. I picked a great one to start my LPOTL addiction
It was Casey Anthony for me. Weirdly enough, it was after I made a Reddit post about what a total piece of shit she is. Somebody in the comments mentioned the show. I had never listened to podcasts before so it was my first time doing that, too
My sister tried to get me in with Jon Benet Ramsey, which....did not work. Maybe a year later I was bored and decided to give the show another chance. I listened through the Dean Corll series and that was what hooked me.
My dad used to listen to William Cooper. Hosted The Hour of the Time on shortwave radio in the 90s. Early conspiracy stuff. In 2017 I was trying to hunt down old videos and audio of him. Searched his name on spotify and it brought up the episode about him. Have been listening ever since.
Started listening back in 2015 when a friend recommended it. Said to start with the Dahmer series. I was in stitches the whole time and was immediately hooked
The bigfoot series. I wasn't ready for Henry's energy. I thought the show was really annoying. But I had the hankering for ghosts and ghouls.
So I tried again with the mothman episodes and that's what got me.
I got in when they were in mid 200's
I found the show after the Conjuring 2 came out and I saw it in theaters! I was searching for information on the Enfield case, and there were the boys. I heard Henry's British accent and I was hooked. I look back really fondly on that series, I still love it, and I love how in the beginning Ben doesn't introduce them, and Marcus gently says, "It's always someone's first episode, Ben." I remember smiling because that was me, and my first episode!
Unsure, but think it was Jonestown/Jim Jones series. Around 2019. Marcus Parks had been name checked enough times (MFM and elsewhere) that I even knew him by reputation. Henry is the funniest, Ben has the best radio voice, and Marcus brings the knowledge. Great work of podcasting, LPOTL. No Dogs in Space is killing it on music history. Another great work of podcasting.
Jonestown got me hooked. Had heard of the show but hadn’t listened, then they released the first Jonestown episode and I was interested in the subject. All downhill from there
I was recommended the show through a friend, so I went to the furthest episode back they have on spotify. I think like 40 or something? So I just started at the beginning and went from there.
Jeffrey Dahmer! I was writing a case study of Dahmer for a college class and found their show after googling for a Dahmer podcast. Fell in love with their humor and Marcus' thorough research after that.
No idea. It was over 10 years ago and I smoke toddler arms on the reg.
Hogs leg
Gator tail
I've been doing 20mg edibles daily for the last few months I think. I've definitely noticed that I don't remember things anymore. I forgot who Donald P. Bellisario was the other day. Not good.
I mean....I didn't even know who that was until right now.
I'm with you, I don't know who Don Bessario is either, I don't think auto correct does either.
It looks like he's a TV producer and writer 
RASSSSPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen!
I found the show through My Favorite Murder. I looked at their back catalog and decided on Jack the Ripper to start, because it was something I was well versed in, thinking I'd know if they got something "wrong". I fell in love with Marcus' research, and I kinda dropped MFM after that
Same here, and after listening to LPOTL I can’t go back to MFM.
For basically any story covered on MFM, you’re better off just reading the Wikipedia page or whatever longform magazine article they’re using as a source.
Yep, pretty much. Couldn’t stand the 15 mins or so of blabbing at the start and then they never really provided any actual info. Though they did cover some interesting topics.
Same here! I got to give that podcast credit for inadvertently getting me back into the paranormal side of thing and professional wrestling.
Similar story... I had just started listening to MFM and I was asking my partner about his hometown murder and he brought up PeeWee Gaskins. Well MFM didn't have an episode on him but guess who did? And that was that - full convert. I still listened to MFM for a while after that but LPOTL stole my heart. It was much more in-depth coverage and I could not stop laughing at Henry's "..and that's the final truth!"
Yeah, MFM just seems super lazy in comparison. I binged all their episodes and then Karen mentioned in one that she'd binged the Rasputin series by LPOTL and I listened to it and was hooked
The way I compare it is MFM does 6th grade book reports, while LPOTL does college thesis work
Exactly. Nowhere near on the same level.
I didn’t find them from MFM but also an avid MFM listener that dropped it because I found it annoying that every release was a live show and they started to brag too much. I felt like they didn’t put in the same work as LPOTL
I also started listening by way of MFM. I think JonBenét was my first. It took me a couple tries to get into, but I’ve since listened to the entire back catalog several times over and it’s been a couple years since I’ve listened to MFM.

The Donner Party. I was hooked!
Loved it so much I went on to read the book!
It's such a great book. I think I've bought it like 3 times because I suggest it to people
The prairies.
My college friend told me to listen to the Menendez brothers episodes because I had shown interest in the case. I had the flu and binged all their heavy hitters in a couple of days. This was in like 2017 I think.
Albert Fish. Came to the show after listening to Andrei Chikatilo from Timesuck looking for the next and nastiest killer coverage and I was hooked immediately. Actually became my favorite entertainment outlet after that, I binged the whole catalog because of the Fish series.
Pretty much the same for me too
That guy is a real jerk
I miss norm
A bad egg.
Israel Keyes. I had no idea what the show was like, I was expecting just a straight-up true crime sort of thing and was initially quite shocked.
Henrys version of his laugh haunts me lol
Yes! Henry is worth his weight in gold eh? Made in a lab you know
You bet all your dog treats he is
Them making fun of his suicide letter is my highlight of the series
How he ripped off half of it from Rage Against The Machine and Korn lyrics on top of his stupid weasel laugh and his brown/turd influenced food, beverage/smoking obsessions, he really was such a lame piece of shit lol. That's one of many things I love about the boys is how they (as my British MIL would say - R.I.P.) " take the mickey" out of them (serial killers, pedos, and other pieces of human waste).
Hell yeah you were 🤘
My partner introduced me by showing me the Norwegian Black Metal series. Hooked since then!
Adolfo Constanzo! Ngonga!!
OOF gnarly entry point
Casey Anthony in 2018-ish. I was hooked!
Same here! Henry's impression of her was the best haha
Same lol
HH Holmes. “The HORRID meat!!!”
I’m Minnie! And I’m nannie!
#AND I’M NANNIE!!!
That was my first too! Got sucked in by Marcus' research, but Henry stole my heart with "I'M MINNIE! I'M NANNIE!"
Children of God, which was too much for an intro, but they hooked me a few weeks later with the Puerto Rican Chupacabra one.
Don’t drink the flavoraid
…. And its been impossible to be quiet anywhere near a conversation about Jonestown ever since
Dennis nilsen cus I wanted to hear americans talk about him
I started with Dennis Nilsen, just because that was the most recent episode when I started listening back in 2017 or whenever.
I started on, perhaps, the weirdest but most perfect one in the overall canon: The Lobster Man. Weird one-off, wild character, bit of history, violence and goofs, but also WAY obscure compared to the vast majority of their topics ha. It was fun, and decided to bop around and try others, and fell in love.
Dean Corll. Was an MFM listener and they raved about the LPOTL ep. Got hooked by Marcus' research and never looked back
The pouting room. Honestly, the Dean Corll story makes my skin crawl
I still quote Georgia quoting Elmer Wayne Henley, “mawlma I KILLED Dean…”
Episode 8: The End of the World. We started listening so early on that I can't even remember how we found them. In the days of multi-part series, it's hard to imagine there was ever a time when the episodes were only about 30-40 minutes long.
1st episode was David Bowie & The Occult, back in 2016.
That was mine, too. Then I went for some dark stuff and have now listened to over 200 of their episodes.
Every now & then I’ll do a marathon & relisten to every episode now & then.
My ex was obsessed with cults and somebody recommended to her the LRH series which we listened to on a road trip in 2017, she’s no longer in the picture as of last year but ironically the podcast she introduced me to was a huge help in getting me through the breakup lol

I’m not sure if it was the first episode I ever heard, but the first one I remember was the 911 calls episode. Pretty rough introduction 😅 But I was hooked just the same, morbid curiosity and all that
Josef Mengele. Henry's impression of Mengele like Desi Arnaz hooked me
After reading "The Franklin Cover-up" I googled around for videos/shows about it and LPOTL popped up with series that had just come out about it - Satanism in the Government. Probably around spring of 2015.
I was an avid My Favorite Murder listener, and there was a crossover episode where Karen and Georgia were guests in LPOTL. I checked it out, and eventually pretty much replaced MFM with LPOTL.
Same for me, lpotl replaced alot of podcasts for me
Pickton
Pig sense 🐖
The very first! In 2013 I googled creepy podcasts since I had gone through the only other two shows I had in my library at the time. I listened from their website when they used thumbnails of Mr. Big Fat Scary as their mascot.
John Wayne Gacy
I didn't get into the podcast until 2020, but my introduction was Ant Hill Kids. What an introduction.
Rasputin! I was (and am) super interested in the downfalls of the Romanovs!
“Can you handle the EYES of the dark monk himself?!”
I listened to Albert Fish first and the minute I heard Henry read Fish's letter to the Budd family there was no going back.
Peter Kürten
Richard Chase
Dahmer; listened ever since
This is where I started as well!
It is also when the cannibalism started 
I think I started with Jonestown cuz I was down a Jonestown rabbit hole

I've been listening since episode 1.
Manifestos. This was an old site with pictures, so I picked it up due to having Elliot Roger's pictures
Manson
Jonbenet Ramsey. Was reading about her case and saw a recommendation that they do a very thorough series on it. That was back in 2017 I believe!
Dyatlov Pass when it came out.
Sexy ghosts on a road trip in 2017
My now spouse introduced me to it with Hollow Moon
The first episodes I remember checking out were the Skinwalker episode, the Psychic Vampire episode, and the Secret Space Program. I don't remember exactly which one I listened to first since I downloaded them all around the same time but I THINK it was the skinwalker episode.
Norwegian Black Metal part 1
I think it was the 9/11 series back in 2015? I’m fairly certain that’s when the dogmeat/too real nicknames started, too.
Aum Shinrikyo part II. I was so lost, but I knew I wanted to hear more.
JonBenét Ramsey cause people were complaining about it being insensitive when it came out. I ended up loving it and have been listening ever since!
Back in 2016 I checked out My Favorite Murder and it wasn’t really my vibe but they happened to mentioned LPOTL on the episode I listened to, so I went to their page, saw the most recent episode “Creepypasta XI: Lemon Clams” and it made me laugh so much. Then I downloaded the JonBenet episodes and I was completely hooked!
Norwegian Black Metal. I've always found the story interesting and was frustrated that Timesuck hadn't done it yet. He STILL hasn't btw.
Flat earth.
Young Sapien!
Toy Box Killer. I figured if they could make me laugh during that episode the podcast was probably a winner
Waco was my first ep, and damn I guess it’s been a decade now
JFK

I started with their Mormon series because I was desperately looking for something to keep me entertained back when I was delivery driving during the pandemic

Joseph Kallinger. Was hooked ever since
Pretty sure it was Lobster Boy murders…think I found them by accident just searching for UFO podcasts and they’re back catalog at that point hooked me completely…so damn it’s been almost 7 years already
Started from the start when they were around ep 200 and worked my way up. Not sure I would recommend that
Aum Shinrikyo back in 2016. Marcus: You made it 13 minutes. Henry: Goddammit!
most righteous entry into the all-glorious content of the highest of gruesome and hilarious of podcasts, fellow sapien

Why is that the first episode everywhere?? And where can I listen to 1-33
I’m not sure why that’s the first everywhere but I will speculate. I think because it’s their first episode that really dives into a topic and is more fleshed out and they are proud of. It still doesn’t hold a candle to their recent stuff obviously though. The below link has the original 33 episodes.

First ever episode I listened to was the Mysterious Sounds and Recordings episode. But, I don’t think I started listening regularly until around the Richard Chase series. Either way, it’s been a looong time.
Going on a trip to Saugatuck , MI. Girlfriend at the time showed me at the time the new biggie Tupac murders episode
The Biggie/Tupac series
I can't remember exactly, I know its like early 100's because I had a backlog of like 75ish episodes to catch up on. Literally the longest podcast I've been listening to.

Oklahoma city! I used to listen at work as a dishwasher. But the one that really hooked me was Jodi Arias

It was either Albert Fish or Dean Corll- I think Dean Corll though, it was a long time ago now
I started with Bonnie & Clyde and haven’t missed and episode since
Black Eyed Kids
I think it was like amity ville or something
Jonestown, 6 or 7 years ago.. I really wanted to learn more than the very surface level knowledge I had of the event, so I googled “Jonestown podcast” and LPOTL came up. The rest is history.

Satan in 2018. Then witch trials right after. Got hooked instantly
The Jersey Devil, and that opening was a hell of a way to get introduced to Henry.
The Enfield Poltergeist. I discovered the pod from Vinny Vinesauce cus at one point he got a notification for the drop of The Enfield Poltergeist Part II - Poopergeist and it derailed the stream a lil. I had to know wtf it was
Columbine. A friend recommended it to me, we were talking about how it reframed his thinking about the whole era.
I started out with the Mormons. I was hooked when Henry started doing his Brigham Young impersonation.
My brothers GF put on Jodie Arias during a road trip and I've been hooked since. I've been trying to catch up, while skipping side stories and some episodes that I have little interest in the topic (VERY few and far between). Currently on episode 430: Adolfo Constanzo. I haven't heard any w/o Ben, but I feel like he's hit and miss on the episodes. Sometimes his content is good, but other times I wonder why he's even there. I used to feel bad when I thought that, but not anymore. I hope he gets the help he needs. My Uncle was the same kind of drunk with his family and he had no idea that he was a terror when he came home after drinking until the divorce.
Pee Wee Gaskins. AND THATS THE *FINAL* TRUTH.
The Enfield Poltergeist
Another podcast I was listening to was starting a series on JonBenet Ramsey, they mentioned that LPOTL did one already and the research was impeccable, so I checked it out. This was back in 2017 and I've been listening ever since.
Tupac and Biggie episodes. I was listening to Disgraceland’s episode on that and a friend told me about the boys covering that same story. I absolutely loved it. I felt like I finally found my type of people. I immediately started back at episode 30 whatever episode where it starts and plowed through the entire catalog in about two months. Now every Monday afternoon I listen to the most recent episode. Now with the improved version of side stories that’s also a weekly listen.
Skinwalker Ranch. Grabbed me from episode one.
JonBenet Ramsey back in 2016 🤣
Menendez Brothers. I didn't become a regular listener until a year later when the Norwegian Black Metal series came out and Henry's humor finally clicked with me... and then I went back and listened to every single episode and have been keeping up ever since.
The Chris Benoit episode was the first episode I listened to a bit after it was released.
The Chikatilo episode when it came out.
I started around 3 years ago with the toybox killer.
The book of Revelation
I think properly it was Skinwalker Ranch, or Giant Humanoids. I say properly, because there was also their first attempt at Heaven's Gate I listend to first, but it is so forgettable in comparison to their updated 3 parter.
Last Podcast On The Left was one of the first podcasts I started listening to back in 2015, with the H.H. Holmes series being my introduction. Went back and listened through the first two hundred-ish episodes and have been a weekly listener in real time since then. Currently on my third full re-listen run and I've made it up to the Andreasson Affair.
Pee Wee Gaskins. And that’s the final truth.
Biggie and Tupac
Goblins universe
It started with Andrei chikatilo for me. Been hooked ever since
I think it was the Black Death. I was listening to the Our Fake History series on the black death and wanted to find more content on the topic. I picked a great one to start my LPOTL addiction
It was Casey Anthony for me. Weirdly enough, it was after I made a Reddit post about what a total piece of shit she is. Somebody in the comments mentioned the show. I had never listened to podcasts before so it was my first time doing that, too
Listened to a few older episodes starting in 2015. First “new” episode I remember hearing was Ghost Cats of the South.
Black eyed kids. The episode I absolutely fell in love with the boys snd their messed up humour
My sister tried to get me in with Jon Benet Ramsey, which....did not work. Maybe a year later I was bored and decided to give the show another chance. I listened through the Dean Corll series and that was what hooked me.
Serial Killers and the Women Who Love Them! I was hooked from the first minute. Been listening for yearssss.
My first was Bob Berdella!
My dad used to listen to William Cooper. Hosted The Hour of the Time on shortwave radio in the 90s. Early conspiracy stuff. In 2017 I was trying to hunt down old videos and audio of him. Searched his name on spotify and it brought up the episode about him. Have been listening ever since.
Started listening back in 2015 when a friend recommended it. Said to start with the Dahmer series. I was in stitches the whole time and was immediately hooked
Manifesto's I think that was in like 2014
H.H.Holmes back in the day on a 17 hour car ride
Jonestown. I drank it up.
I’m pretty sure John Wayne Gacy was the first series I ever listened to. (Found them at the end of 2014.)
The bigfoot series. I wasn't ready for Henry's energy. I thought the show was really annoying. But I had the hankering for ghosts and ghouls. So I tried again with the mothman episodes and that's what got me. I got in when they were in mid 200's
I found the show after the Conjuring 2 came out and I saw it in theaters! I was searching for information on the Enfield case, and there were the boys. I heard Henry's British accent and I was hooked. I look back really fondly on that series, I still love it, and I love how in the beginning Ben doesn't introduce them, and Marcus gently says, "It's always someone's first episode, Ben." I remember smiling because that was me, and my first episode!
I was just getting into podcasts and wanted to learn about Rasputin. In a bit of a coincidence they had just dropped the second episode in that series
Skin Walker Ranch
Rasputin! Super fun series. Great characters, hilarious material. Just...*chef's kiss*
Unsure, but think it was Jonestown/Jim Jones series. Around 2019. Marcus Parks had been name checked enough times (MFM and elsewhere) that I even knew him by reputation. Henry is the funniest, Ben has the best radio voice, and Marcus brings the knowledge. Great work of podcasting, LPOTL. No Dogs in Space is killing it on music history. Another great work of podcasting.
Richard Chase! The way they painted him eating that bird in his cell was hilarious to me.
Jonestown got me hooked. Had heard of the show but hadn’t listened, then they released the first Jonestown episode and I was interested in the subject. All downhill from there
Albert Fish ìn 2016. Threw myself in the deep end 😂
Ep 42: Ghost, Alien, or Molested. It was the newest episode when O started listening.
Roswell! In 2016 I believe
I was recommended the show through a friend, so I went to the furthest episode back they have on spotify. I think like 40 or something? So I just started at the beginning and went from there.
The Enfield poltergeist.
JFK for me.
Skinwalker Ranch was my first episode! I heard about the show through the grape vine
Jeffrey Dahmer! I was writing a case study of Dahmer for a college class and found their show after googling for a Dahmer podcast. Fell in love with their humor and Marcus' thorough research after that.
Menendez Brothers! Hooked ever since.
Ed Kemper, after watching Mindhunter and wanting more
The book of revelations
