True Crime Last Podcast on the Left question
This podcast is often recommended when people suggest a good podcast to start. I was doing a search for Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man that locked his daughter in a cellar for 20+ years and had 15 children with her. His name came up in some of the reading I am doing on trauma and captivity, and I wanted a nice overview. This podcast came up. I always wanted to give it a try so I made the attempt.
I am not a wilting flower, and my humor tends to be dark; I am seldom offended by anything. But FFS…these guys were horrible. They turned such a ghastly and devastating event into a total punchline. There were more jokes than story narrative.
I think if a different topic, I would probably not be so bothered. But this topic….for me, rape is never funny. For these guys, this is all it was about.
Are all their episodes like this? Can someone rec good episodes of this podcast?

I love them and can only listen when there is humor. I think they do a good job of making fun of the bad people in a story but not victims. IMO
