The podcast episodes provided demonstrate the use of dark comedy as a storytelling technique, employing absurdist humor and satire to address disturbing themes like murder, violence, and the darker aspects of human behavior.

For example, the podcast Midnight Burger blends murder mystery tropes with comedic, satirical elements, while Last Podcast On The Left and Women Talkin' 'Bout Murder incorporate dark humor and irreverent commentary when discussing true crime cases and serial killers.

Similarly, the story My workplace has been monitoring my behavior for a really strange reason uses hyperbolic descriptions and an absurd premise to lend a darkly comedic tone to an otherwise disturbing narrative.
