Gold-Star Episodes

For a true-crime podcast, LPOTL dives into some of the darkest topics known to anyone. While the boys attempt to mix some humour in there to maintain a balance, there are episodes in their roster that are considered so intense that there is no humour to be found. Marcus and Henry have even admitted of how some of the darkest topics he's researched take a toll on his mental health and can give him nightmares.

This page is a list of what can be considered Gold Star episodes, although some can be up for debate by listeners. This guide can help people who may want to skip them or proceed with caution about listening to them
