Last Podcast on the Left (expired event)

Barrels headlong into all things horror — as hosts Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks and Henry Zebrowski cover dark subjects spanning Jeffrey Dahmer, werewolves, Jonestown, iconic humanity.

The Last Podcast on the Left is a weekly podcast featuring comedian and podcast host Ben Kissel, podcast producer and researcher Marcus Parks, and comedian and actor Henry Zebrowski, all of whom are longtime friends. Released each Friday, the episodes are generally one hour in length, with the hosts exploring the horrors of the world both imagined and real. Previous episodes have explored the topics of serial killers, conspiracy theories, UFO sightings, ghosts, and readings of fan-submitted creepypastas.

Several repeat characters are present on the podcast, primarily voiced by Zebrowski, such as “Detective Popcorn” (the semi-erotic food-focused incompetent police detective), Charles Ng (a notorious serial killer), “Terry the Gnome” and Minnie and Nannie Williams (victims of serial killer H. H. Holmes).

In 2017, The Last Podcast on the Left received the “People’s Voice” Webby in the Podcasts & Digital Audio (Comedy) category.
The opening theme of the podcast features snippets from serial killers, such as Jeffery Dahmer who utters the line, “That’s when the cannibalism started.” The closing theme is Al Bowlly‘s “Midnight, the Stars and You,” as a reference to The Shining. The podcast often references the film Nothing But Trouble.
