By Bethany \u201cBST2\u201d Armstrong<\/strong><\/p>\nI have a helluva commute. I spend 9 hours a week \u2013 10 if traffic is bad \u2013 on toll-roads and sky-bridges, weaving in and out of traffic, with naught but my brain for company. Too much introspection is bad for the soul. There is such a thing as over-hearing your favorite songs\u2026 I\u2019ve been there; it\u2019s hellish. I hate being read to, so audiobooks are out. That left listening to podcasts for something to while away the drive.<\/p>\n
My absolute favorite is \u201cLast Podcast on the Left.\u201d Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks and Henry Zebrowski are deliciously dark and endlessly entertaining. They cover topics from serial killers to cults and true crime to conspiracies, but they interact so intimately it feels like you’re sitting around bullshitting with some friends. Marcus provides the in-depth research and wrangles back the others when they get too far off topic. Kissel is an adorably optimistic giant, the Audience Surrogate who eggs on Henry. Henry provides the role of the devil\u2019s advocate \u2013 for every devil – and comedic relief.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re into U.S. History, The Donner Party (episode 310) is a dark look into Western Expansion. For the stories behind cults and cult leaders, try Jonestown (episode 300). If you\u2019re into crazy characters and don\u2019t mind blue humor, Rasputin (episode 331) is hilarious. For occult history, try Madame Blavatsky (episode 410) and Nazis and the Occult (episode 157). If you enjoy looking into the mind of a serial killer \u2013 don\u2019t we all? – Pee Wee Gaskins (episode 299) or Richard Kuklinski (episode 327) are good places to start.<\/p>\n
Whatever dark thing you\u2019re secretly into, the LPOTL guys have you covered. It\u2019s equal parts funny and intelligent and disturbing. It leaves me looking forward to those long commutes.<\/p>\n
