Side Stories Episodes

Side Stories are featured on The Last Podcast on the Left Network within the podcast itself. New episodes premiere weekly on Wednesday (and for some listeners Thursdays due to time zones). They are not counted as actual episodes, but fun bonus material.

## History

Side Stories was often considered bonus episodes that came out before the regularly schedules episodes of the podcast. It allowed the Thrilling Three to discuss weird news and topics that cannot be covered on the actual episodes. It also allowed for the group to read listener emails and stories more often than just on the Listener Pasta episodes. Henry and Ben are the main hosts and it was originally planned for Marcus to join in once a month, but due to research and other circumstances, this has since been abandoned. Travis, one of the producers, also made appearances in the podcast.

The first official Side Stories was broadcast on April 19th, 2018 and has been going strong ever since.

The original intro was the one that listeners know and are already familiar with, but was changed in later iterations. The current intro begins like normal, announcing the podcast, to which the sound distrupts and Ben announces that it's Side Stories. The intro continues as normal until the "cannibalism started" line in which both Ben and Henry announce that it is "Side Stories, yes" and then it closes out the way it usually does.

Currently, Ben and Henry cover the weekly weird news, then do "Hero of the Week" where they recognize someone (or an animal) that did a good deed to bring positivity into the situation. (Keep in mind there is sometimes a twist with these alleged heroes). Then finally, the guys close out with Listener emails. On the odd occasion, the boys will do interviews with people including Dan Akroyd, director Mike Flanagan, and actor Elijah Wood.
