Adam was raped almost a decade ago, and on What Nobody Tells You About Rape, she told Mann about what happened afterwards, how she reacted, the court case and its aftermath. Over the course of its 80-plus episodes, The Modern Mann has established a great rapport with its listeners, and Martha Adam, this week’s main interviewee, contacted the show because she wanted to tell her story. I hope you give the Lights Out Podcast a listen and learn something weird and new! In the meantime, lights out, everybody….The first was on The Modern Mann, a nicely produced, empathetic and jolly magazine show presented by Answer Me This!’s Olly Mann. I listened to it while driving through fields at night though, which I definitely don’t recommend. It’s about the Native American mythology of skinwalkers and the ir presence at the Skinwalker Ranch. I would have never learned this had it not been for Lights Out! I also loved their episode #32: Secrets Of Skinwalker Ranch: A Paranormal Paradise. ![]() The media tends to dramatize satanism as worshipping evil, but in reality, the underlying philosophy of satanism is just embracing our primal side. ![]() It really painted satanism in a different light for me. This episode discusses Anton LaVey’s founding of the Church of Satan. My favorite episode from the Lights Out podcast thus far is #7: Anton LaVey: Into The Devil’s Den. They have a professional set, quality podcast equipment, and included images, letters, videos, interviews, and any other evidence or visual that would help the audience visualize the true crime story. The lack of diversity in platforms is perhaps the only major drawback of this podcast, but it has visuals. The Lights Out podcast is available only on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube. Something specific to this podcast is that they start and end every episode with their signature: “Lights out, everybody” which is a really cool touch and gives me creepy, bedtime-story vibes. I prefer this type of podcast when I am doing something repetitive (like pipetting 300 samples during lab) so I can hone in on the direct story of true crime cases. While Mile Higher and Morbid are more of a conversation between the hosts, Lights Out is more direct and comes off like an audiobook. Of course, as with all podcasts with mature, violent content, there is profanity. Side conversation or input among Josh and Joel is very minimal (in direct contrast to Morbid) besides an emotional outburst here and there such as “That is really up, man”. They include images, letters, transcripts, videos, and audio when applicable, which greatly complements their discussion of the cases. They post videos through YouTube as one of their platforms. The Lights Out podcast has a visual component. Also, they make sure to let the audience know when they are iffy about the validity of facts. It’s very clear that all the information they share is thoroughly researched and condensed into only the most important information with only the essential details. Lights Out episodes tend to be on the shorter side, only about an hour or so. Then they continue to discuss the crime itself, the victims, and the outcome of the court case. The difference here, however, is that Lights Out doesn’t delve into detail about the early life of perpetrators like Morbid they touch mainly on the most impactful moments in their early lives that influenced their actions. ![]() First, they speak on perpetrators’ birth, childhood, and the start of their crimes. Inclusion of photos pertaining to cases.Īs with the previous two podcasts that were reviewed, Lights Out has a similar method of explaining true crime cases. They get right into the case rather than starting the podcast with small talk, which I personally, tend to prefer. The differences between Lights Out and Mile Higher are that Lights Out discusses paranormal activity (such as possessions and hauntings), delves more into gory details, and has more of a lecture-style rather than a discussion. Since then, Josh and Joel have been releasing weekly episodes every Friday on a wide range of topics including the occult, hauntings, cryptids, alien abductions, serial killers and demonic possession. This is a fairly newer podcast they released their first episode on April 17, 2020. It’s actually hosted by Josh Thomas –one of the hosts of the Mile Higher podcast–and his brother, Joel Thomas. This week I will be reviewing the Lights Out podcast. Lights Out Podcast Hosts: Brothers, Josh & Joel Thomas
