  • Summary

  • S-Town is a podcast hosted by Brian Reed from Serial Productions, a New York Times company. The story follows a man named John who despises his Alabama town and decides to do something about it. He asks Brian to investigate the son of a wealthy family who's allegedly been bragging that he got away with murder. But when someone else ends up dead, the search for the truth leads to a nasty feud, a hunt for hidden treasure, and an unearthing of the mysteries of one man's life.

Brilliant

Very smart, very thoughtful, totally heartbreaking. A real insight into this part of America. So much more than a murder mystery.

listened X3 times now.

always brilliant, it's interesting to research the controversy following the podcast. some feel it was exploitative journalism after a man had died and could not answer back, but I think it just adds to the intensity of John's character

Greatest Pod of our Time #Fact

This is the best I've listened to, from the production sound quality to the altering storyline and emphatic feeling for a genius so frustrated and sensitive but full of hick qualities, Gripping and real.
