Red handed are just awful. I've listened to enough of it to know.

Yeah, one of the hosts of LPOTL also just got sacked for being a weird abusive mess. Time for a true crime podcast about true crime podcasts.
-
He also had the least input on that show and was in no way funny. I honestly do not know what he actually brought to the team.
The more recent episodes I bothered to listen to it is clear that Marcus and the funny one were sick of his shit and openly mocked him for his stupid takes and attempts to be funny

I haven't listened to LPOTL in about five years, and I was only really a listener for a two year period starting in 2013, but I remember that Kissel hosted a political show. Just looked it up, and he was still hosting it as of September of this year, with almost 750 episodes. I listened to two episodes, probably in 2014, and based on my hazy memory of that I'd call him a bizzaro left-libertarian type.
What I'm saying is, this isn't a surprise.
Also I distinctly remember there was an early episode where they made a big deal out of them being a podcast with no corporate backing, and then sometime after I'd stopped listening I learned they made a deal to host their show exclusively on Spotify.

What is the next influencer face going to be for thumbnail SEO purposes? Surely the
face can't last forever-
I hope we go back to the era of
fursonas. -

yes it can, it's optimized to get clicks from children, who are simply too young to know any better

Once again proving the most ethical podcast has always been Cumtown

You could have switched out that picture with several other True Crime people and I would have believed it in equal measure. Last Podcast was a comfort after working doubles and shambling home after working myself to death for shit pay in catering. The shouting, the bad jokes, the lurid stories. There's an appeal to be sure, but it really would be best if by and large all these true crime podcasts and shows just kinda dropped off entirely.

The only True Crime podcast I support is "Only Murders in the Building" (it's pretty funny, watch it)

whoever these people are i wish them the worst
true crime parasites are fucking awful

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Only good true crime podcast is
You have to subvert the genre to make something that isn't ghoulish. In the same vein, I'd say Murderville is alright because the "true crime" in question is a negligent or deliberate wrongful conviction rather than the murder they're convicted of
because it focuses on bourgeois/systemic crimes
True crime podcasts are crime porn for suburbanites.
The media amplifies and sensationalizes random violence, creating a continuous stream of small and impersonal traumas in its largely suburbanite audience. They understand their complicity in the violence on a subconscious level, but cognitive dissonance prevents them from accepting this on a conscious level. This creates a feedback loop where they repeatedly seek out content to retraumatize themselves in an effort to regain control of their place in these narratives.
But yeah it's mostly some white people shit.
its scary stories to tell in the dark but for upper middle class white libs who are (comparatively) alienated from violence by their own money
That may be generally true, but in my experience it is mostly women (not all 'white') who listen to it. I think it is a way of dealing with the the anxiety of being a woman in a world that makes them unsafe.
No when I think "true crime podcast listener" I think "white woman with no personality"
American Psycho type beat
not at all. in fact i think i am fully justified in saying that the average true crime podcast is EXACTLY like The Turner Diaries for white women.
Yup (you are right)
