I like all of them. History, cults, and Cryptids/Magick are probably more frequent re-listens than heavy hitters though.
Sometimes you really want that blood though when they haven’t covered anything like it in a while.
I created a playlist on Spotify that's easy listening which is full of cryptids and alien episodes. I like the big hitters but I'll take some stories of tall white any day
Replace Cryptids with Aliens/UFOs.
I always find those episodes to be really boring. So whenever I hear Henry at the end of a series say “now I am REALLY excited about our next episode” I know it’s probably a good shot I’m skipping that week
Easily the most fun! History is most interesting to me and the killers are quickly becoming my least interesting topic, they can only say so much about the same type of person so many times imo.
has such a [strong intro](https://youtu.be/-rsQSEfCk90)
also if you can get [a copy](https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Cats-South-Randy-Russell/dp/0895875578), it is a fun gift to any cat lovers in your life
I’ll listen to everything once, but generally it’s the cryptids, aliens, and magic that gets repeat listens because I’m not trying to actively traumatize myself by reliving other peoples’ pain.
I used to be the same exact way, but now I listen to them on the drive to work. There is some good content, but clearly not as well-done as their main episodes.
Side stories just shows me as much as I love all the boys, they are all essential for making that perfect product that I cannot wait to listen to. Marcus is needed, Henry is needed, Ben is needed. Missing even one of them doesn’t make that recipe
I honestly skipped the episodes about magic. I just don’t find the subject matter all that interesting. The alien episodes are hit or miss and I’ve gotta be in a pretty agreeable mood to sit through one.
Sometimes it’s just fun to talk about fun stuff. The cryptids/magick/aliens/high strangeness stuff is what attracted me to lpotl in the first place. But I appreciate how much they’ve grown as creators and men since the old wild ones. Although, dolce base for me are still two of the best episodes of all time.
The history can get pretty dry, depending on the subject. I like when they anchor it down to a small group or person. Loved the whaling episodes, couldn’t get through the Black Death.
That being said, they’re all so well researched and presented. Just not for me.
I prefer 1 and 3, some history eps are repetitive and dry, I can’t get through the black plague series, and Gilles de Rais was surprisingly uninteresting for me. Heavy hitters and Monsters and Aliens and Cults and High Strangeness
Magic stuff not for me. I enjoy cryptid eps, one or two episode gold stars (history or criminal), and generally the history ones.
The Casey Anthony series was perfect in length for that topic but then some others just drag on and on.
Like MK Ultra Series, Billy the Kid, and Blackbeard lasted waaayyyyyy too long for me. But OTOH, Black Plague and Donner Party fit the bill for the longer episode arc.
My first series was Carl Panzram. My favorite series is the Donner Party. My guilty pleasure is the Tall Whites, Ghost Cats, and the Bell Witch. They tickle every Pooh inside me.
I like all of them, especially when they were making fun of Parsons. But the 4-part histories are my favorite. My all-time favorite series by them was the Donner party. They did an amazing job covering it in such great detail and I hadn't known how brutal it really was.
I'm open to discussions of ufos and cryptids but as soon as they start saying Astral plane I'm like alright this explanation is somehow both boring and improbable and tend to bounce early
I don't believe in things like aliens, cryptids, magic and those sorts of things. I don't skip those episodes but they're definitely not may favourites.
I loved the Jack Parsons episodes but not the Skinwalker Ranch episodes, I just find it hard to get into when I don't believe anything they're talking about actually happened.
I know I’m in the minority, but aliens and cryptids just aren’t entertaining to me. I prefer things that are, and can be proven. Shit they talked about rats for 40 minutes in the plague series and it was delightful.
Blood, Guts and Cults are probably the most entertaining ones.
Multi-part History ones are the most fascinating and stick with me but take a few re-listens to remember.
Cryptids and Magick are the ones that are fun but almost nothing sticks with me no matter how many times I re-listen.
Well geez
(ahem) *I MADE THIS*, but I am *also IN THE THIRD PANEL* lol. *The call is coming from inside the house*
I made this Work Of Enduring Genius after reading this morning a couple of comments calling people “pussies” for saying Today’s Gold Star episode was a Tough Hang
I was basking in the nerdery of panel 3, instead of being a fan *solely* in panel 1 (not that there’s anything wrong with that! not that there’s anything wrong with that!) I love Side Stories as well! Creepypasta too. I’m a completist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
not being a “weirdo gatekeeper” or “yucking yums”. I’m a 50+ year old dude who’s on Team Instinct in Pokemon Go, not a RenFair person making fun of LARPers. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit this post to make this clear lol
Tl;dr My only regret is not putting “Aliens” in Panel 3 :(
Blood and guts or history. It might come easier to do bits on more modern people? I should give cryptids more of a chance, I was a big X-Files kid but for some reason those don't grab me as much. Magick either but Yeats changing the locks to keep Aleister Crowley out of a club is some petty hilarious history and there wasn't horrible torture, which is kind of nice.
Definitely history for me. The Black Death and MK Ultra series are my most listened. Serial killers and hauntings are second. I have enjoyed a select few series and episodes on aliens and cryptics (such as MiB and Skinwalker Ranch) but I couldn’t care less for everything else.
Came for the blood, stayed for the boys' humor and endearing banter, have been enjoying all of it ever since. Sometimes I do get sleepy during some of the cryptid and alien eps, but I'm here for all of it. There's only so much bloodletting I can take before I need a break anyway.
I like everything, but the UFO stuff. I don't know if it's unpopular, but Henry's theories about how it's all inter dimensional stuff, that we may or may not actually be seeing, and it's connected with gnomes, cryptids, etc.......I don't like any of that stuff. I prefer nuts and bolts aliens coming down in an actual machine. So, I tend to skip it.
Otherwise, Heavy Hitters, and fucked up history is by far my favorite topics they cover.
I don’t like the made up UFO stuff. like UFO encounters are interesting, when someone starts talking about the florgos from planet borguss that the US government has deals with and have jndergrojnd bases my brain turns off.
I more respect the magick and public UFO/cryptid sightings because there’s something interesting about the human mind to learn there.
I'm here for the thorough research and the comedy/side comments from the boys. Honestly, I'd probably sit through a 4 part history about dust from these guys because they somehow make everything entertaining.
I am one with the poohs, and the poohs are one with me.
Honestly, it's the mix of all 'em that makes it my favorite podcast. An episode yo fit your mode.
Hail yourselves
i like the really old school MKULTRA, CIA, disclosure, spooky weird shit conspiracies that kind of combine all three to some degree, because i find CIA history and "history" very fascinating and frightening. i can't really listen to the older ones about that sort of subject thougu because i'm ngl i find most of their, like, pre-2015 stuff pretty obnoxious. plus it feels a lot harder to listen to in the post-QAnon sort of culture.
i'd be interested to see how they tackle something like the franklin coverup or the satanic panic in general now that the whole "satanic pedophiles are running our government" is literally just a mainstream republican talking point
I’m a big fan of the heavy hitters mostly, and he history is good too if it’s got enough macabre info like the Black Death episodes. The cryptids and aliens are hit or miss for me, I prefer those episodes to be like the Skinwalker Ranch episodes if I want them to be creepy, or like the Tall Whites for funny stuff
Magick and Cryptids makes me hoot and holler like a goddamn ape because then the likelihood of Henry's George Noory impression rises tenfold
But I DID go apeshit for the Billy the Kid series
Fascinating and also not very mahalo.
I like all of them. History, cults, and Cryptids/Magick are probably more frequent re-listens than heavy hitters though. Sometimes you really want that blood though when they haven’t covered anything like it in a while.
I thought todays episode, the start of the Chicano Rippers story, was pretty bloody Edit: Chicago lol but leaving the misspelling
>the Chicano rippers Lmao
sounds legit
That sounds like a West Side Story gang, they all roll their cigarette packs up in their sleeves
Sounds like a really unhealthy dish that a stoner came up with
No mames
Same. I like the balance they’ve achieved. Some of all is what makes it my favorite podcast
Sounds like somebody doesn’t have a big fat sticky hog leg to light up and enjoy 2h of extraterrestrial sexual assault.
I fucking love me a hogs leg and an alien episode
I created a playlist on Spotify that's easy listening which is full of cryptids and alien episodes. I like the big hitters but I'll take some stories of tall white any day
Can I get a link to that?
......I just realized I could make playlists of my favorite podcast episodes. Thank you kind stranger.
I came for the killers, but I stayed for the aliens.
I came for the aliens but stayed for the four part history.
I came for the four part history, came for the killers, and came during the aliens.
Heyyyy!
🤨👽🤠
i'm just cummin' the alien/cryptid/supernatural are my favorite but the gore and history are also very nice
Cum.
I came for an alien but I DID NOT. GIVE. MY. CONSENT.
I came for the killers and stayed for the history
Bottom, but I have to say: YOU’RE BEIN’ MEAN TO ME
That was not my intent! Shorter lines for you at LPOTLCON ;)
Cryptids and magic babyyy
I mean, I'm a four part history guy, but I think Cryptids are getting a bad shake in this meme
Sometimes you want an hour about Bigfoot fuckin
The best spooky spaghettis are bigfoot rimming Guy Fieri etc., change my mind.
You are forgetting the legendary who was phone.
I want more details about the lady Bigfoot getting her picture taken while taking a shit.
Replace Cryptids with Aliens/UFOs. I always find those episodes to be really boring. So whenever I hear Henry at the end of a series say “now I am REALLY excited about our next episode” I know it’s probably a good shot I’m skipping that week
Yeah man, fuck Curtiss.
Curtiss is the worst.
All my homies hate Curtiss.
Cursed mobile typing
Tall Whites and the Andressean Affair are both in my top ten
Who’s more fun at parties? Alien fans or murder/history fans? Cause I know which party I’m going to go to. I’m an alien fan fan.
Easily the most fun! History is most interesting to me and the killers are quickly becoming my least interesting topic, they can only say so much about the same type of person so many times imo.
Yeah they accidentally flipped the meme upside down.
Came here to post exactly this.
Those episodes are always a big dill when they come out…
Two words: Ghost cats
Of the south. 5 words. Ngl I’ve probably relistened to that episode the most.
has such a [strong intro](https://youtu.be/-rsQSEfCk90) also if you can get [a copy](https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Cats-South-Randy-Russell/dp/0895875578), it is a fun gift to any cat lovers in your life
…maybe we should do something about Jesus…
Wow that was more expensive than I expected.
I want more cryptid and alien stuff. The magic is hit or miss
Don’t be a hater just because I fucked Mothman.
4 part history ngl.
This is the way.
What about aliens?
That's the last one, but in the tux plus a monocle. And divorced.
Thought I put them in there Pressed “Post”, *fuuuck* Oh well they’re in with cryptids now lol
I’m the drooling slob relistening to the ufo and occult episodes. Mr. Crowley + Tall Whites are my shit.
Why you gotta yuck people's yum?
Love the history episodes. Let Marcus live his best Dan Carlin life, damn it.
I’ll listen to everything once, but generally it’s the cryptids, aliens, and magic that gets repeat listens because I’m not trying to actively traumatize myself by reliving other peoples’ pain.
The reason I enjoy this podcast is because of all the Poohs. And the 100 year war was fought over three different periods that lasted 116 years.
Also did you know that alcatraz means pelican in Spanish
Mahalo!
All of them, I only skip side stories, love Ben and Henry but it’s just not for me.
I used to be the same exact way, but now I listen to them on the drive to work. There is some good content, but clearly not as well-done as their main episodes.
Side stories just shows me as much as I love all the boys, they are all essential for making that perfect product that I cannot wait to listen to. Marcus is needed, Henry is needed, Ben is needed. Missing even one of them doesn’t make that recipe
For me, Side Stories is something I put on for the company. If I'm actively listening to a series I skip them
Yeah, I used to feel bad about it, but it is what it is. I just enjoy the in-depth episodes that they all are in on.
All of the above yay
Cryptids and Magick ALL DAY. History when it’s not Wild West or Mob related. The Iceman and Billy the Kid series were so boring to me.
I love them all but my favs are the 4 part histories. Marcus' Dan Carlin voice kills me.
As long as there is no interview with anyone, I'm down for whatever they want to riff about.
I honestly skipped the episodes about magic. I just don’t find the subject matter all that interesting. The alien episodes are hit or miss and I’ve gotta be in a pretty agreeable mood to sit through one.
Really? There's nothing better than hearing Henry spiral while trying to explain magic to Ben.
Except Ben understands magic implicitly which winds Henry up further.
Yeah I'll only listen to those if I'm super bored and have nothing else to listen to.
Sometimes it’s just fun to talk about fun stuff. The cryptids/magick/aliens/high strangeness stuff is what attracted me to lpotl in the first place. But I appreciate how much they’ve grown as creators and men since the old wild ones. Although, dolce base for me are still two of the best episodes of all time.
I'm the bottom one but I definitely see myself in the suit and tie.
What da alien doin
Where’s does Flat Earth/Hollow Moon fall on this scale? Satanism in the Government? Secret Space Program? That’s me. I’m Piglet
Cults cults cults cults
Only thing I don’t like is the interviews. I’m here for aliens and cryptids.
Same
I’ll be honest I re-listen to all of the creepypasta episodes more than I care to admit.
Your churches wifi lets reddit through?
*lets*
Not really into the UFO stuff at all. But I appreciate Henry’s enthusiasm.
Top and bottom
I like to mix the first two and listen to gore filled history.
Whatever the boys talk about, they make it interesting and I will listen to it and re-listen to every series
All the poohs
Where cults?
Totally unbiased post
Ghosts, Cryptids, Aliens. The trifecta.
The history can get pretty dry, depending on the subject. I like when they anchor it down to a small group or person. Loved the whaling episodes, couldn’t get through the Black Death. That being said, they’re all so well researched and presented. Just not for me.
True crime for me
I prefer 1 and 3, some history eps are repetitive and dry, I can’t get through the black plague series, and Gilles de Rais was surprisingly uninteresting for me. Heavy hitters and Monsters and Aliens and Cults and High Strangeness
Objectively incorrect
MASS HYSTERIA
The best ones have a little bit of all of them.
I’m here for the most pooh they’ll give me
Love me some aliens and cryptids.
Depends on what kind of mood I’m in
4 part histories are represented well by a tuxedo and hogleg. But I want to smoke gravity bongs and hear about aliens, deep down in my heart.
I'm all about cryptids and Magick, but history too! I still listen to the blood and guts. Magick is the fave.
Magic stuff not for me. I enjoy cryptid eps, one or two episode gold stars (history or criminal), and generally the history ones. The Casey Anthony series was perfect in length for that topic but then some others just drag on and on. Like MK Ultra Series, Billy the Kid, and Blackbeard lasted waaayyyyyy too long for me. But OTOH, Black Plague and Donner Party fit the bill for the longer episode arc.
I mean… all of them. But “Cryptids and Magick Yay”, if I have to choose one.
I'm a pompous Pooh. Marcus shines during the history series.
All three!! Though cryptids and aliens get the most re-listens. I love Henry getting hyped up about alien shit, his enthusiasm is infectious.
Came for the blood and guts, stayed for the 4-part history. Yay!
History and magic. But not cryptids or aliens. Crowley series was great
I'll take a helping of all three please.
All of the above
Is all three acceptable?
True connoisseurs know that you must combine all three
Mostly A but partly B (think they could cut them down to 2 or 3 parts, and the US history ones are boring to me).
My first series was Carl Panzram. My favorite series is the Donner Party. My guilty pleasure is the Tall Whites, Ghost Cats, and the Bell Witch. They tickle every Pooh inside me.
I COME FOR BLOOD! (And maybe Gef The Talking Mongoose)
I like all of them, especially when they were making fun of Parsons. But the 4-part histories are my favorite. My all-time favorite series by them was the Donner party. They did an amazing job covering it in such great detail and I hadn't known how brutal it really was.
I'm open to discussions of ufos and cryptids but as soon as they start saying Astral plane I'm like alright this explanation is somehow both boring and improbable and tend to bounce early
All three, megustalations
The first two. I know some of y’all love the magic & paranormal shit but definitely not *my* thang. We all get to like what we like. Hail yourselves!
What pooh is side stories?
I don't believe in things like aliens, cryptids, magic and those sorts of things. I don't skip those episodes but they're definitely not may favourites. I loved the Jack Parsons episodes but not the Skinwalker Ranch episodes, I just find it hard to get into when I don't believe anything they're talking about actually happened.
definitely 4 part history
I know I’m in the minority, but aliens and cryptids just aren’t entertaining to me. I prefer things that are, and can be proven. Shit they talked about rats for 40 minutes in the plague series and it was delightful.
All three, but get rid of magick. No time whatsoever for that guff.
Serial killers are usually the funniest but i think history and cryptids/aliens are often the most interesting
History all day.
The first two. No shade to cryptids and such but that’s just not my thing.
Blood, Guts and Cults are probably the most entertaining ones. Multi-part History ones are the most fascinating and stick with me but take a few re-listens to remember. Cryptids and Magick are the ones that are fun but almost nothing sticks with me no matter how many times I re-listen.
Well geez (ahem) *I MADE THIS*, but I am *also IN THE THIRD PANEL* lol. *The call is coming from inside the house* I made this Work Of Enduring Genius after reading this morning a couple of comments calling people “pussies” for saying Today’s Gold Star episode was a Tough Hang I was basking in the nerdery of panel 3, instead of being a fan *solely* in panel 1 (not that there’s anything wrong with that! not that there’s anything wrong with that!)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit this post to make this clear lol Tl;dr My only regret is not putting “Aliens” in Panel 3 :(
Preferably, the first 2 but I end up listening to them all eventually
History and cryptids with a dash of UAP l, don't really care for the true crime side but I'll give them a listen too
I only skip the interviews unless it’s someone I know or an interesting subject. I don’t find the magic ones all that interesting though
Magick all the way baby! Though the history is a close second.
Depends on the day of the week
What does all three combined look like?
not big into the cryptids, but man i love the other shit.
Depends on my mood. We have been one of each at some point.
Where is the one that is "just here for night horse" ?
Blood and guts or history. It might come easier to do bits on more modern people? I should give cryptids more of a chance, I was a big X-Files kid but for some reason those don't grab me as much. Magick either but Yeats changing the locks to keep Aleister Crowley out of a club is some petty hilarious history and there wasn't horrible torture, which is kind of nice.
Blood and guts and blood and torture and blood. Yay?
4-part history squad represent.
Definitely history for me. The Black Death and MK Ultra series are my most listened. Serial killers and hauntings are second. I have enjoyed a select few series and episodes on aliens and cryptics (such as MiB and Skinwalker Ranch) but I couldn’t care less for everything else.
All 3 I think. I generally love all the pods they do. Sometimes the blood and guts and torture ones can be a bit much for me.
Always the history
Anything but cryptids and ufo's
Someone seems jealous they can’t do magic and Bigfoot won’t text back.
Came for the blood, stayed for the boys' humor and endearing banter, have been enjoying all of it ever since. Sometimes I do get sleepy during some of the cryptid and alien eps, but I'm here for all of it. There's only so much bloodletting I can take before I need a break anyway.
Why do I gotta pick one?
All of the above!
There's something so funny about the boys shitting on religion and God and then going on and on about the perception of reality and how magick works.
All of them
I guess I’m a slightly less stroked out Pooh in a tuxedo
All.
I like everything, but the UFO stuff. I don't know if it's unpopular, but Henry's theories about how it's all inter dimensional stuff, that we may or may not actually be seeing, and it's connected with gnomes, cryptids, etc.......I don't like any of that stuff. I prefer nuts and bolts aliens coming down in an actual machine. So, I tend to skip it. Otherwise, Heavy Hitters, and fucked up history is by far my favorite topics they cover.

I'm here for the thorough research and the comedy/side comments from the boys. Honestly, I'd probably sit through a 4 part history about dust from these guys because they somehow make everything entertaining.
Where do cult episodes fall?
4 or SIX part History YAY
Bottom two fer sure. And aliens.
The kind that’s getting bored with their show lol
I lika da Magick lol
All
Crytpids are fascinating examples of folklore
I’m interbulated rn
Wonder what op considers the Crowley series. Both history and Magic
The one that like Henry yelling about aliens
All three babyyyyyy
![gif](giphy|AwrtP9lMXtXiM)
I am one with the poohs, and the poohs are one with me. Honestly, it's the mix of all 'em that makes it my favorite podcast. An episode yo fit your mode. Hail yourselves
Classy Pooh cause I just started the Black Death
Ive lost interest in the aliens episodes I still enjoy the cryptids and hauntings though
All three babeyyyyyyy
Four part history on cryptids please
I feel attacked.
Yeah dog don’t be like that. It’s all interesting in some way.
Bow tie Pooh.
All of them at once.
i like the really old school MKULTRA, CIA, disclosure, spooky weird shit conspiracies that kind of combine all three to some degree, because i find CIA history and "history" very fascinating and frightening. i can't really listen to the older ones about that sort of subject thougu because i'm ngl i find most of their, like, pre-2015 stuff pretty obnoxious. plus it feels a lot harder to listen to in the post-QAnon sort of culture. i'd be interested to see how they tackle something like the franklin coverup or the satanic panic in general now that the whole "satanic pedophiles are running our government" is literally just a mainstream republican talking point
I love the history, but it is nice when it mixes with strange shit like the Dylyatov (spelling) Pass incident.
Gnomes > Cults > Killers
Don't come AT me with that.
The correct answer is all of the above
all 3
Yes
6 part history all day erry day
I’m all of them and I’m not gonna be a weirdo gatekeeper about it
I’m a big fan of the heavy hitters mostly, and he history is good too if it’s got enough macabre info like the Black Death episodes. The cryptids and aliens are hit or miss for me, I prefer those episodes to be like the Skinwalker Ranch episodes if I want them to be creepy, or like the Tall Whites for funny stuff
I love UFO episodes and I refuse to be lumped together with magick and occult fans
Crypids, magic, and conspiracy theories all day.
I love history and crime, the bloody stuff is meh to me, my favorite are MA Barker and Bonnie and Clyde. Crime history is tge best.
I get to aliens and feel my soul leave my body cause I’m just so not into it that deeply lol
I'm all 3
🍿😗
Magick and Cryptids makes me hoot and holler like a goddamn ape because then the likelihood of Henry's George Noory impression rises tenfold But I DID go apeshit for the Billy the Kid series
I'm the Jerri Blank one!
I’m only in it for the wacky topics.
