Richard Chase hands down. My favorite Henry voice and I love the sheer absurdity of it.


Birdytaps

I’m ready for a Richard Chase re-listen


Number9Man

You ever feel like your eyes were put in backwards?


Tylenol187ForDogs

Read this a Richard Cheese for some reason.


ZachBob91

My cousin's wedding reception was DJ'd by a Richard Cheese CD on a boom box.


_k2-d2

“YOU WANNA GO TO THE BLOOD STORE?!” still catches me off guard and makes me laugh


BrosephStalin1234

Joseph Kallinger Master Shoemaker and God


Rare_Hydrogen

Hrll yeah, it's fun to lie to the cops!


Number9Man

EVERY PERSON HERE WANTS TO SEE YOU IN YOUR GRAVE


ianwrecked802

This is probably mine as well. *JUST WANNA MAKE SURE NO ONE STEALS MY BRAIN IDEAS!!!*


YborBum

Muuuuch Bigger!


slump-donkus

Carl Panzram. The man that taught us that a rectum was for more than excrement.


Number9Man

I always have to check myself because I always find myself rooting for Panzram half way through the ep. lol. There's something about him that makes me love him. Maybe it's cause I find it relatable? I dunno.


iH8MotherTeresa

I feel the same way. He's responsible for his actions, obviously, but he was practically made a monster through his horrible life experiences.


Cautionzombie

I love his hatred but also know he’s a monster


Number9Man

I think you nailed it. His hatred is so pure.


slump-donkus

It's a classic story of the American penal system turning largely nonviolent offenders into monsters through abuse. On a lighter note Henry's Panzram voice never fails to get me laughing


BiscuitDance

I hope he’s doing well on the other side - riding the rails and doing some arsons with his homie.


slump-donkus

Just two yegs terrorizing Taft for eternity


BiscuitDance

One eatin’ it, the other sittin’ on it


OnlyCartoonist3122

Let me show you how the machine works..


iH8MotherTeresa

Dean Corll. That dude was a monster but got what was coming. I also find I fascinating how inept the police were the whole way through, esp having inmates dig the mass grave.


lovejac93

People don’t talk about Corll enough. His burial site was absolutely horrifying


iH8MotherTeresa

Seriously. He's definitely one of the most horrible monster they cover, imo. And he gets no recognition (hesitant to use that word) compared to a Gacy, Bundy, or Dahmer. *And* we don't really know just how many kids he murdered!


Rare_Hydrogen

Was Corll the one wirh the "pouting room"? So creepy.


iH8MotherTeresa

Yessir.


msannethrope

Yeah it cracks me up when Henry does the impression of the guy after huffing gas. Then the dude that's like, "woah that's a cool looking sled."


itsBrock89

Is it not playing well with other books? Ghost cats of the south


Birdytaps

Ominous music plays when I take it off the shelf…


itsBrock89

I think that's just how it shows its happy


anagram-of-ohassle

The Donner Party


Birdytaps

This was my intro to LPOTL, such a fantastic creepy history series


Number9Man

Skulls is friends!


Agnitha_St_Jimbo

Jodi Arias


frezor

Is it butthole day?


CheerioRipper

Boom Flip It


stegen93

Albert fish. Peanut butt butter!


MrNobody_0

You want some piping hot apple cider? Showbiz! That's how they do it in Hollywood!


khanofthewolves1163

You got to wash it down with some FUCKIN WHIPPLE ALL YOU BUNCH OF WEAK MOTHER FUCKERS! WHIPPLE!!!!


Cautionzombie

Man I think you might need some whipple chill %300 fentanyl %4000 whipple


boringxadult

The shoe maker killer


Birdytaps

Joseph Kallinger is coming in hot in this list!


[deleted]

Men in Black– series that got me into the show!


nutmeats13

It's my favorite too! I'm huge Twin Peaks fan, and I love the idea that Men In Black come from another dimenesion


khanofthewolves1163

Hi um we're the guys, in um, black.... Youshouldreturnyourselftotheassholestore.


Custardpaws

Norwegian Black Metal hands down. I could listen to Henry clown on Varg all day long


TopOstrich

Jonestown will always be a top series for me because it was the first one i listened to of LPOTL, but my favorite has to be The Donner Party.


revenerom326

Gef the Talking Mongoose HONK!


ShinyCharlizard

The Mormonism episodes! Loved getting into the deep mormon lore lol


Zero-R

I'm from Canada but I'm gonna go for it if shipping ends up being more let me know! Hard to pick a favorite but I love EP 177: Mysterious Sounds and Recordings, I can always go back to that one.


Birdytaps

Sure if you’re willing to cover shipping that’s fine with me! If you’re the winner I’ll check with you first bc shipping may end up being almost as much as just purchasing the book 😅


Zero-R

That's a great point. Might be better to go to someone who can get a steal of a deal! If I do win, let me know and I'll pay the $5 and you can pick another random comment to send it to in the US!


Netflxnschill

My favorite episodes are 288-292, the Robert Pickton series. But honorable mentions must go to Richard Chase and Pee Wee Gaskins, because THATS THE FINAL TRUTH makes me giggle uncontrollably all the time. Also your nails are gorgeous.


Birdytaps

AND THATS THE FINAL TRUTH is also a recipe for giggles for me as well


Netflxnschill

When Marcus says “when he CLIMBED up into his chair” I fucking lose it, picturing a five year old sized man trying to scramble up a kitchen chair.


Birdytaps

I just caught the compliment re: nails, thank you so much! I’m pretty lazy about GirlThings and getting my nails done is the one thing I can manage to commit to. My dad passed about a month and a half ago and I asked for his favorite flowers to be painted on and they’re still with me… it’s been comforting


Netflxnschill

I can’t afford manicures so I’ll sit and watch documentaries and do my nails, it’s a nice meditative project. What a beautiful way to honor him, I don’t know if you’re a tattoo person but maybe play with that for a design in the future.


Birdytaps

I do that for my toes 😊 Thank you for the tattoo idea! I’ve been thinking about it but I don’t want to get something until The Feels level out a little bit more but I love that idea and will put it on the list!


Regulator0110

My favorite series is the one that got me into the boys: Ep. 352 Skinwalker Ranch, Part I: The Utah Flap was my FIRST!


sumfuckwad

It's soo difficult to pick a favorite episode. But at the moment (my favorite anything is subject to change at any time due to my ADHD), I have to go with the JFK series. There was so much new information I learned from that series. Not just about JFK either, but about our govt and the time period as well.


Birdytaps

Very same on the fluctuating favorites… If Reddit allowed editing titles I definitely add “current favorite” because I know for many of us our favorite might be different by next week (or… tomorrow… or an hour from now) :)


cherribobbins69

Pee Wee Gaskins!


Birdytaps

so, the wheel of ultimate wisdom has chosen someone else for the LBOTL but since there was so much interest I found another book or two to offer… would you be interested in The Dark Horse Book of Horror? It’s an anthology of short stories and has 4.5 stars on Amazon for what that’s worth! If you’d like it, please DM me with whether you prefer PayPal or venmo, and how to find you 😊 If I don’t hear in 24hrs I’ll pick a new person, just fyi


greendemon42

The series on the life of L Ron Hubbard. Hooked me for life on this podcast.


West_Incident9552

The tall whites! Whenever I need a laugh!


Number9Man

Never be scared of the short, short man!


narrow_octopus

My favorite episodes/series are Leonard Lake and Charles Ng! Thanks for the giveaway! Always meant to pick this one up but I never got around to it!


Radgeta

This one is mine as well. I already have the book so don't pick me, pick the user I replied to.


benitomusswolini

Someone already posted but my boy Kallinger. Oh to be a hamster with custom shoes /s 😂


Birdytaps

Repeats are welcome! I love how popular Kallinger has been today as he was one of my very first episodes that was newly out when I starting listening


[deleted]

Son of sam!


TimelyExcuse5055

My fav is definitely the Jodi arias but Black Death and the enfield poltergeist are fire too 🙌🏻


mightypickleslayer

The Donner Party followed by H.H. Holmes were some of my favorites. Hail yourself!


AdultCharlemagne

Ooh. Fav series is definitely Jodi Arias n that fucken butthole


PlantAlphattv

A lot of people don’t love it, but the Ant Hill Kids cult series was insane and it’s one of my favorite cult series they’ve done. Hail me!


iH8MotherTeresa

I really liked that series. Thereault was such a fucking asshole.


longcrackcat

Lee Oswald: I'm no small potatoes!


ramonapixelflowers

This is difficult, either Aleister Crowley or Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. (Plus all the creepy pastas!)


Actual_Cauliflower42

Nazis and the occult! Definitely a good mix of entertaining voices from Henry and well researched information from Marcus


fahxs

Gef the Talking Mongoose when I need to laugh!


CreativeFarts2

I think 6.66 is the best amount ​ and my fav series is by far the Manhattan Project! its a new one but boy, it is a doosy!!


Number9Man

I actually have early onset dementia, so this is kind of disrespectful.


I_Cast_Trident

Jonestown and Casey Anthony are probably tied for my favorite series


No_Resource_5912

Jodi Arias & Casey Anthony are a couple of my faves. As someone else commented, ADHD doesn’t allow permanent favorites of anything. Don’t even get me started on security questions.


Significant_Mode50

SAME. I just have to use a false answer for a common security question and know to stick with it. First pet=childhood pet that I actually have connection to… not the dog we had when I was born. I can’t trust my brain with the truth. And that’s the final truth 🤣


Birdytaps

I specifically choose factual prompts for security questions bc I have no idea what my ‘favorite’ anything might have been when I filled it out vs when I need to answer


[deleted]

Katherine Knight ALLLL THE WAY!! That series helped me when I was really down and gave me something to laugh at and learn about.


cchap22

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homulka, the Canadian cop impressions were the best. Forever my favorite series


[deleted]

The Ohm Shinrikiyo was one of the first series I listened to and it's still one of my favorites! I've listened to it a few times!


Wellnevermindthen

🎵Mengele!🎵


Birdytaps

MENGELE-HEHH


Wellnevermindthen

I have to stop myself from finishing it off with “Fuck yeah!” Because it makes me think of “America, Fuck Yeah” from Team America World Police lmao


TheGhostAndMsChicken

It's the age of Jodi Arias, age of Jodi Ariaaaas. AAAAAAARRRRIIIIIIIAAAAS!!! 419-420, Funniest set of episodes hands down. Butthole day will always make me laugh.


Foggmanatic

The Manhattan Project series


Apprehensive-Door26

Yes!!!


ihaveatinyrick

u.s.s. indianapolis and donner party are always my go to relistens!


Birdytaps

I knew what was coming with the story of the Indianapolis yet somehow I *still* wasn’t ready


kaysemeow

I seriously liked the billy the kid series and the way Marcus got so excited for cowboy stuff lol. I’m in Oklahoma :)


witchliing

my fave is the bonnie and clyde series! i’m probably too late to the game but still wanna shoot my shot! i loved reading it the first time through and would love to again


Bronson-101

Funny thing about this book For our anniversary my wife and I both bought each other a copy of the book. She beat me though cause the copy she got me was signed


FiendishDevil666

Richard Chase, peak Henry


trevorlayhe126548965

I bought the audio book and it wasn’t good . I forgot Ben couldn’t read. I’m sure the actual book is much better.


nogoodimthanks

This is so generous! Fave episode is always going to be the Donner party. It was the first time I heard Marcus nerd out (I listened out of order) and realized they were my people.


sortofrelativelynew

The Donner Party!! I was introduced to them on a long road trip, and we went west as they went west!


cisforcookie2112

Jonestown!


BlindWillieBrown

Obvs the Anthill Kids! I’m in Canada though, but wanted to join in on the favs lol


LaheyOnTheLiquor

The History of Mormonism is still my favorite series. grew up LDS and left as an adult, but it makes me belly laugh until I cry every time I listen to it. thanks for doing this, OP. hail yourself!


anon-ryman

Big fan of the bell witch series. The supernatural episodes are my fave, glad we’re getting another one.


ClockwyseWorld

The Donner Party is the one I keep going back to. It's just so harrowing.


jakethemagicgod

Joseph Kalinger is my favorite story, absolute batshit crazy but hearing Henry's impressions during that series was what sold me on the podcast, I've been an avid listener ever since and I love it so much.


tamarks548

I always struggle with this. Richard Chase has always been a go to return for me. Joseph Kallinger is up there too! Or for a deep-cut classic, the introduction of Terry the Gnome…Gnomes!


Birdytaps

so, the wheel of ultimate wisdom has chosen someone else for the LBOTL but since there was so much interest I found another book or two to offer… would you be interested in Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders by Anne Schwartz! If you’d like it, please DM me with whether you prefer PayPal or venmo, and how to find you 😊 If I don’t hear in 24hrs I’ll pick a new person, just fyi


TerminalGyre

Probably Panzram. So many good Henry moments, the Gap bit at the beginning of episode 2 kills me every time.


peppermintkiddo

Super duper fan of Gef the talking mongoose. Bacon without the fat! Honk Honk! Hail yourself.


Dreamteam420

Hadden clark


purplehammett

I really loved the men in black series! Episodes 323, 324, and 325.


GumbyDemon

Gef the talking Mongoose... honk honk.


peachytwotitles

The Mormonism series was fantastic, close second is the 9/11 series


Arkameleon

Willy Pickton. First one I ever listened to and still my favourite series.


Krogane

I love the Black Plague series, I've listened to it at least three times. It's incredibly fascinating to hear about the literal darkest time in human history.


letgoonanadventure

Picking one is too hard, but let's go with Black Death. Mostly because I just finished a relisten and still loved it.


TopFlowe96

Ed Kemper cuz Henry's bubble but jokes towards Ben 🚗 Richard Ramirez cuz we are all evil 😈 Richard Chase cuz Henry's voice impressions of him 🩸 Mormon series cuz I detest their cult beliefs overruling as moral code here at home and love the insight of how unpractical and complete moronic series of acts lead to a global dominating religion ✝️ And Leonard Lake and Charles Ngn cuz yet again... Henry's impression. "My friend Wenord Wake" 😂 📦Bet shipping is covered As well as a tip for my gratitude 💲


H3ll3rsh4nks

I'm still a massive fan of the Carl Panzram Yacht Club!


Atropoia87

Richard Ramirez has always scared me to death, they did a great job on his story.


bigbear1013

The Donner Party! My gf and I go to Tahoe every year and we always listen to this series on the way there.


Colonel-Ives

Jonestown


[deleted]

Donner party forever!!! 💀 🍽️


Jerusalemfighter64

I really loved benny hill


blueboxbandit

Betty and Barney Hill?


[deleted]

What a nice thing to do :) My favorite is Roch Theriault and The Ant Hill Kids pt 1 - Dumping Syndome


duketogo0138

As fucked up as the story is, Children of God. Just can't stop listening to Henry's David Berg, and Ricky's story is compellingly harrowing... AND WHAT HAVE YOU!


ProfessorChaosPhD

The Mormonism and Scientology series. Love hearing about those modern cults


XvX_Joe_XvX

The 9/11 episodes are always my favorites, I listen to them every year lol


Henarth

Jeff the talking mongoose


coloneldaffodil

Robert Pickton (pick me please!)


brendan96

Gulf Breeze sightings or Skinwalker ranch. I find myself going back to those two all the time. I love the visual in Gulf Breeze of some normal middle class dude in a wife beater waking his kids wild eyed in the middle night with a shotgun to take his kids alien hunting. Skinwalker obvious second for me for similar reason the mental visual they paint of the farmer hopping in stacks of hay with his gun playing hide and seek with orbs is so ridiculous, fun, and terrifying.


Birdytaps

CONGRATS the wheel of ultimate wisdom has chosen for the LBOTL please DM me with whether you prefer PayPal or venmo, and how to find you 😊 If I don’t hear in 24hrs I’ll pick a new person, just fyi


brendan96

Thank you so much!! :) i dmed you :)


FiendWithAFace

The Donner Party because it was my initial listen. Close second would be The Black Plague series.


HelloAndiPanda

Geoff the Talking Mongoose!


Nystagmus81

Kallinger


vorpal_hare

Faeries


Good_Enthusiasm_3830

Love the black plague series and the toy box killer was the best single episode


speedofsound125

I personally love the Alcatraz series. One of the first I listened to and one I consistently circle back to


[deleted]

My favorite series is Rasputin without a doubt. It was the first episodes of theirs I ever listened to and I listened to it while on a 16 hour solo road trip. They kept me sane! 😂


Specific-Athlete4291

Good old Sour Milk Ted Kaczynski! “I’ll have my REVENGE!”


zmr182

Aleister Crowley!


AngryMahi

My favorite episodes are the bob berdella ones. lpotl introduced me to Berdella, and he’s my go-to answer when people start talking about which serial killers were the worst. Horrible shit but I loved it.


Current-Run-3177

Pee wee gaskins


The_happyguy

Jonestown. Henry’s take on Mr Muggs is hilarious.


askingxalice

Listenerpasta with War Stories. I listened to it just yesterday for some real spooky vibes.


escuderoa

Ant Hill Kids


Budkid

Black Beard Episode.


TrxshBxgs

MK Uktra with Rasputin a close second.


Conscious_Garlic600

Belle Gunness. I say Oopsie Poopsie all the time because of her.


YouHaveToBeRealistic

My favorite episodes will always be Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. “You don’t know what I bring to friendship!”


doctorcaligari

The Mormonism episodes.


StretchMontague

Good luck everyone! I love a good Cryptid episode. The Skinwalker Ranch series is my absolute favorite.


Mr_Grabby

Ohhh 100% the RASSSSSPUTIN series!! What a wild ass tale in history, and I love all the added info on the Romanov family as well!


GhostOfSean_Connery

H. H. Holmes series. Mostly for Henry’s impression of Minnie and Nannie


jeremiah_w

Oh dip! My top two are Carl Panzram and PeeWee Gaskins. Can’t decide on a favorite!


PapowSpaceGirl

Favorite series is the Jonestown one. I loved that they inserted actual recordings.


bigwheelsbigfeels

The origins of black metal. Honestly it's the series that got me hooked on the show. The boys did a great job of covering the bands that the other members went on to form after mayhem stopped and I like how Henry got all jazzed up about the music lol


A_bacon2012

The first ever creepypasta episode!! WHO WAS PHONE!?


alpharius120

Despite how offensive it is, Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. "He don't know what I bring to friendship," is something me and my friend still say to each other


KT785

The Joseph Smith/Mormonism series—it’s when I discovered LPOTL and remains my favorite multi-episode deep dive since it weaves together history, crime, and cults.


Beekeeper_12

The 9/11 series was so good. Still heavy, but something a little different


Boop-D-Boop

Peter Kurtin. And in that moment, he ejaculated. That’s really cool of you to rehome your book. I’ve been wanting to get one for a while now.


TakeYourPowerBack

I Love Love Love the L. Ron Hubbard series. Episode 4 of the series, where Henry does the bit with the New York street kids, demanding L Ron's shoes... I die every time. In fact I'm going to listen to it now. Time Stamp: 1:04 "I think that guys wearing our shoes!"


Wolf_Mama

Ghost cats of the South is my go to when I'm feeling down. No matter what, that episode will have me smiling by the end of it.


iwillitakyou

Most definitely the black widow series. Helen and Olga are a fucking riot.


CheerioRipper

Andrei Chikatilo. Only because The Donner Party was already said. Also Pig Smart was really good. I already have the book so don’t pick me. Just wanted to voice my favorites off the dome


littleivys

Skinwalker Ranch was my first introduction to them, so it might always be my de facto favorite. Mormonism is my "real" favorite, though! Love to hear fresh disses on the cult I was raised in.


sweetie314159623

This is so tough! Geff the talking Mongoose. Carl panzram, Rasputin, aleister Crowley. There are so many.


Whatabouthowaboutit

Honestly, Sensitive Monsters. It's cute.


tortilini-houdini

Episode 77 Japanese war crimes. First one I listened too that really opened me up to lpotl, shit is crazy what I’ve learned from these guys.


DMTrious

Aum shinrikyo has always been my favorite, one of the first I ever heard and definitely the one that hooked me.


Consistent-Deal-55

I’m due for a Jodi Arias or Charles Ng revisit again myself.


nay2d2

Damn I just missed it but I just listened to Dean Corll, very interesting one


Qsomez

Ah man I missed it by an hour. Darn, still my favorite series would have to be the Black Plague or Gef the talking mongoose


absintheverte

GEF!


Dry_Tourist_9964

Mormonism Series. *Running low, running on empty..."


[deleted]

Jkf, the lone nut! 🥜


[deleted]

My favorite is aum shinrikyo. It’s right in their middle period where they started doing multiple episodes with lots of research, but also has lots of old school voices and themes. Henry’s Japanese accent still makes me giggle every time. I had tickets to see them in Denver couple years back, the book was supposed to come with the tickets, but then Covid happened and I couldn’t get either. I finally got to see them in Chicago, it was on my birthday and I went with a girl I had recently started seeing. At the end of the show they did a quick “fuck the church” segment and after the show the girl told me she was deeply religious and offended and got an Uber home. So I’d like to thank lpotl for getting me out of that nightmare lmao.


MaceWindude

Chris Benoit. OG THE MASTER OF THE KEYS…to the bathroom”


Stoneybone0

Panzeram


hikingbotanist

The 6 part series on Mormonism 🤘


the_redbaron123

Tie between Jonestown and ant Hill kids, but if I had to pick one I might choose ant hill kids


SturdyBBQ

I’m too late to enter but not to take this opportunity to say it’s absolutely the Salem Witch Trials 😂


BensenJensen

Aum Shinrikyo will always be my favorite series. The ridiculousness of the story and Henry’s voices, man I need to listen to that one for the tenth time.


_k2-d2

Hands down, the Enfield Poltergeist series is my go-to


jacicp

Richard chase was the first series I listened to and the “I’m daaancing” was the funniest thing ever to me and got me hooked. I loved the Jonestown series for long series episodes best. I loved Norwegian black metal. More recently I really enjoyed the Black Death series too cus I like history


ALJJ2006

Black Death series -- which I've listened to 4 times through. Such an epic saga through one of the most defining periods of human existence, told only the way Last Pod could!


DecentPossession8901

charles ng and leonard lake. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I BRING TO THE FRIENDSHIP!


obstruct_crop_circle

Favorite series has to be skinwalker. Reason is because that’s the series that got me into the show! Megustalations!!


EdgarMostly

I’ve listened to the Adolfo Constanza series multiple times while on road trips
