That's actually the appeal for me.I used to like Last Podcast, but I haven't listened in a couple years tbh, so I don't know what they're like these days. At least when I listened, I was always irritated because Marcus would try to actually discuss a topic, and then Henry would interrupt with a silly voice or something. His antics were funny at first, but got old fast. The idea of a crime/horror podcast that has a bit of a jokey tone is very appealing to me, but I'd rather the topic come first, jokes second, and I felt like Last Podcast was the other way around. The main reason I didn't keep up with it is just that I have a tough time listening to podcasts, and catch myself zoning out every few minutes, it wasn't actually because of them, but I did like what I heard, overall
It keeps the content from getting too fucking spooky and it de-romanticizes serial killers and cult leaders by turning them into goofy buffoons. I don't like their paranormal content much since I just have no interest in that at all.
They were definitely better pre-Spotify. Charles Manson, Children of God, Aum Shinrikyo, Willie Pickton, Ed Kemper, and BTK are some of my favorite episodes of theirs. Shoutout also to the Katherine Knight, Eileen Wuornos, and Belle Gunness episodes.
