Career, Job, Salary and Net Worth :

When Marcus first came to NYC, he had the opportunity to work with The Onion, a digital media company, more specifically, showing off his talent on Onion Radio News, which produces satirical topical features for listeners.
Marcus’ next venture was working with East Village Radio, an Internet radio station as the fill-in guy.

After working at another network called Break Through Radio, it was finally time to create the ‘Last Podcast Network,’ a podcast enterprise that currently attracts millions of listeners a month.
Marcus is most notably known for his contribution on ‘The Last Podcast on the Left’, a weekly podcast featuring himself, comedian Ben Kissel and actor Henry Zebrowski, who are all long-term friends.
This particular podcast usually explores the horrors of the world, both true and fictitious, from serial killers, ghosts, UFO sightings, conspiracy theories and everything in-between.

Success of the Podcast :

The Last Podcast on the Left (The LPOTL) can be found as one of the top five comedy podcasts on iTunes.
The LPOTL won the Webbys People’s Voice Award as a completely independent production.

It also currently has an astonishing 300 podcasts in their library, each varying from half an hour to one hour in length.
Marcus is involved on other podcasts in their enterprise, such as ‘Page 7,’ Roundtable of Gentleman’ and ‘Sex & Other Human Activities’.
The LPOTL receives over 30,000 dollars monthly in Patreon donations from their huge fan base. At one point, admirers received cow bones harvested from the Parks’ family-owned ranch; Marcus even helped collect and clean them himself.

He still uses the old program version of the software Garage Band to edit all the podcasts they send out every week. As Marcus said in one interview, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’

Interesting Facts, Height and Trivia :

Marcus and his company signed a book deal with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, a publishing company from Massachusetts.

Besides creating popular podcasts, Marcus has also been in an indie rock band called ‘The Cowmen’ since 2010. He is the percussionist of the group.
When Marcus originally started with the outfit, he would perform on their live shows with a huge marching bass drum. ‘I’d cover myself in dirt and fake blood, wearing big boots, a cowboy hat, cut off shorts and a tank top,’ he recalled in one interview.
He has a dog called Georgie.
