The Last Podcast on the Left

The Last Podcast on the Left is a weekly podcast on the Last Podcast Network featuring comedian and podcast host Ben Kissel, podcast producer and researcher Marcus Parks, and comedian and actor Henry Zebrowski (who joined in the third episode), all of whom are longtime friends. With a main episode released each Friday and a Side Stories episode released once a week, the episodes are generally one to two hours 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. Kissel, Parks, and Zebrowski tour with live performances of the podcast and produce The Last Stream on the Left, a live-streaming spin-off show on the Adult Swim website.

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). 

The opening theme of the podcast features snippets from serial killers, such as Jeffrey Dahmer who utters the line, "That's when the cannibalism started." It also includes the line and subsequent advertisement transition "Rise from your grave!" uttered by Zeus from the Sega action game Altered Beast. The closing theme is Al Bowlly's "Midnight, the Stars and You,” a reference to The Shining.

On November 19, 2019, it was announced that the show was moving exclusively to Spotify for ad sponsored episodes. 

In 2017, The Last Podcast on the Left received the People's Voice Webby in the Podcasts & Digital Audio (Comedy) category.

In 2020, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will release The Last Book on the Left, written by Kissel, Parks, and Zebrowski.
