Customer Reviews
S-town was the most moving, thought provoking story
I have never listened to a podcast so amazing as S-Town. I was on the edge of my seat, wanting to learn more. It was so beautifully researched, executed and narrated. I felt like I was there, witnessing it as a fly on the wall. The story is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking stories I have heard and my heart is still broken over it. I have become fascinated by John. When I first heard his voice, I thought it was an elderly man calling in, only to Google him later and find out he was in his 40s. I look forward to listening to such wonderfully sourced out stories again, and especially by Brian Reed.
If someone was willing to throw a ton of money into making a movie about John’s life, I would be the first to watch it.
Vocal Fry
The cases covered are so interesting and have a lot of potential. Unfortunately, as many others have mention, I cannot get past the vocal fry of the host to continue past the first episode.
Holeeee Vocal Fry
Male, Female, why do producers not understand that vocal cry is painful to listen to!! I know it’s common for people to critique young females for this. But middle aged men are just as bad. Often Worse.
