Description

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.

I just finished listening to 'S-Town,' and I'm blown away by the storytelling and depth of the narrative. The way it delves into complex characters and unravels a gripping story is nothing short of extraordinary. https://smartlink.ausha.co/medical-billing-solutions/the-ultimate-guide-to-medical-billing-services

John B McLemore is a deadset legend. What a shame he died so young and it seems, due to mercury poisoning, and then cyanide. I feel like theirs always a tortured soul with such a gift of high intelligence.

This is the third time I’ve listened to S Town. I’m from Alabama and I always find myself coming back to this one show. It gives me all the feels.

I was JUST starting to think that I’d messed up the first rule of skeptical thinking, that to know as much of the truth as possible you need to hear from both (or more) sides, and that perhaps Rita had been getting a bad rap, only filtered through the eyes of Tyler and those close to him. I became sketched out wondering how she could be attached to his nipple rings anyways, and then she said “Just cut his nipples off. He’s dead!!” WhaaaaTF?! Literal Gold Digger!!

I absolutely love this guy. He seems like a real treasure and his lack of filter is hilarious. I'll be.moving to Alabama in the next few weeks. maybe I'll run into him and he'll talk my ear off too ♥️😂
