Description
S-Town is a new podcast from Serial and This American Life, hosted by Brian Reed, about 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.

Rita sucks!! She's a snake
Thank you for sharing John's story with such amazing and empathetic story telling.
I like how gently thats put
I have listened to this podcast twice!!! It's just so good.
Knowing Kabram and some of the people in this story makes it so much more interesting. as someone who has lived in Woodstock is really is a shit town.
if you haven't already, everyone should see this The Maze West Blocton, AL 35184, United States https://maps.app.goo.gl/1jqHoe2aYxvxjpiV8
I really really dislike the dickhead that bought johns property.. seriously, why even bother agreeing to an interview if you don't even try to not sound like an old arrogant racist hillbilly
Great show! Listened while on a long drive. Couldn’t wait for the next episodes. Great sound effects and production, and I like the narrator’s voice.
I'm thinking he was gold plating those bars and never really had a bunch of gold. in doing so he gave himself mercury poisoning and went crazy and killed himself.
really disappointed in the finale. show is amazing and took a hard left episode 6 and never wrapped up the corruption or missing things.
after episode two I was only listening to find out what happened to the gold. All I heard after that point was a bunch of whining and fighting over the remnants of John's estate. Not much of a story.

Just finished S.Town for the 2nd time through. This is a masterpiece. Overwhelmed & overawed. So grateful this was made, for John and for us to know him. Hope Reta has listened to it in its entirety.
Wow!!!! I so wish John B hadn't left us. So very sad. A truly brilliant perceptive mind of complexity and genius - too frustrated to put up with being confined to a box. His impact on those who got to know him rather than judge him is palpable. Thank you so much Brian & Team for bringing us his incredible story, so artfully and respectfully told. I'm about to start again. I hope Tyler makes his way through life ok, especially for the sake of his daughters. RIP John B Mclemore. 🙏💐😪
You did such a great job bringing a neat story to light! :)
This was my first ever podcast experience and I'm now back for my THIRD listen. I'm so glad I stuck it out... CANNOT believe I almost gave up on it the first time! You can't possibly imagine where all this will go. My best advice is stick with it and DO NOT research or read ANYTHING about it. NO GOOGLING! JUST LISTEN!!!
Wish I knew what happened with John's property - and that the cousins got NOTHING. Vultures.
loved this podcast!
