“For me the best thing about Last Podcast is that they aren’t afraid to show you the most bizarre, the most grotesque, the most horrific, without succumbing to it themselves. It’s all done in the name of finding the dark side of humanity fascinating without being part of it. It’s not about believing in demons, it’s about reading the adorable spell some guy in Florida wrote because he does. It’s not about conspiracy theorizing, it’s about examining the disturbing number of people who think the President is literally a reptile. It’s not about celebrating serial killers, it’s reminding yourself what human beings are capable of doing to each other if they have no empathy. And you joke about it because that’s all you can do in the face of true horror. I don’t think many sane people could do a show like this and keep it interesting and objective without pulling any punches, and even if they could, they still wouldn’t be anywhere near as funny.”
