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.
#LIGHTS OUT PODCAST SERIAL#
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. Please be better.Lights Out Podcast Hosts: Brothers, Josh & Joel Thomas You have a huge following, so my ‘unfollow’ won’t matter. It is not anyone’s right to elude what one’s diagnosis is outside those who are qualified. Yes, premeditated and spontaneous murder can happen with the criminal being of sound mind and with severe mental illness. Yes, premeditated and spontaneous murder can occur as a result of severe mental illness. Even your commentary on PPD was infuriating. when opinions, and how they are presented, bleed into content like this it strengthens the stigma around mental illness. Even with my degree in psychology, I am not qualified to make assumptions that you made.
Every situation that man was in I could think of reasons behind his mental illness for it happening. Schizophrenia is an incredibly complex mental illness. However, unless you have a very well rounded and expert understanding of mental illnesses within abnormal psychology (no, you’re witnessing of someone going through it does not count as an expertise), your assumptions and opinions do not translate into facts… which is how you presented your opinions. As a mother, would I want my child’s murderer to have the harshest of punishments? 100% and then some. Look, do I think someone should be held responsible for a crime (especially one of such horrific nature)? Absolutely. ‘I just don’t buy it’ and creating the narrative that his diagnosis of being mentally insane/having a severe mental illness was not a good enough reason for him to receive his sentence. I hadn’t noticed the amount of opinions given during the podcast by the creators until this episode. I loved this podcast until the most recent one with the man with schizophrenia.
