The 9 Best Podcasts Like Last Podcast on the Left

Small Town Murder

In each episode of Small Town Murder, comedians James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman zoom in on a small town, detailing its history and a grisly murder that happened there. This unique format means that the podcast offers true crime comedy fans a plethora of little-known murders to dive into. You can also check out James and Jimmie’s other podcast, Crime in Sports, which has been described as a combination of TSN’s 30 for 30 and America’s Most Wanted.

The Dollop

Although The Dollop is more of a history podcast, hosts Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds capture the same mix of fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy and in-depth research that makes Last Podcast on the Left episodes so special. And even if history isn’t exactly your thing, there are lots of LPOTL-esque episodes to discover, from the Satanic Panic to The Texas Hypnocult. The Dollop also has legendary live shows, featuring other great comedians like Patton Oswalt and Karen Kilgariff.

Astonishing Legends

If you’re a fan of the spookier side of LPOTL, you’ll want to check out Astonishing Legends, which looks at strange and unusual events from history. What makes this paranormal pod particularly interesting are the occasional interviews with those who have experienced these strange events. Their episodes on everything from the Dark Eyed Kids to the Abduction at Devil’s Den will leave you feeling very uneasy, and might just make you question your own beliefs.

Dark Poutine

This true crime comedy podcast is a great way to dive into the darker side of Canada, covering cases from around the country that you’ve likely never heard of before. But it’s not just a true crime podcast — Dark Poutine investigates everything dark and creepy, from historical events to legends to folklore. Like the Last Podcast on the Left hosts, Dark Poutine’s Mike Browne and Scott Hemenway are longtime friends who have great banter and chemistry. If you’re looking for podcasts similar to Last Podcast on the Left, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!

And That’s Why We Drink

For those who love both true crime and the paranormal, And That’s Why We Drink is the perfect spooky listen. Each episode starts with a paranormal story from Em Schulz, ranging from hauntings to aliens to cryptids, followed by a true crime case from Christine Schiefer. Through it all, the two hosts go on plenty of hilarious tangents, talk a lot about wine and milkshakes, and just generally make you feel like you’re hanging out with your best friends.

My Favorite Murder

You can’t really talk about the Last Podcast on the Left without talking about My Favorite Murder.

So if you haven’t listened already, get on it!

Morbid

Following in the footsteps of LPOTL and My Favorite Murder, Morbid has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the true crime comedy community. Each week, hosts Alaina Urquhart and Ashleigh Kelley, lifelong friends, unpack a different true crime case. In a twist on this tried-and-true format, Alaina is actually an autopsy technician with interesting insights into the cases they cover. If you like well-researched episodes with plenty of humour and sarcasm, you’ll want to give this pod a listen.
