Listening to this for 4th time.
This began my love of true life podcasts. I love Brian’s voice. The characters are real people and are truly amazing. A pocket of people who show real life, real personalities with a truly amazing story. After you've listened to all the similar podcasts in the genre, you will come back to this. It’s just magical, sensitive, and shows the complexity of all people, it throws out all stereotypes - it’s deep and beautiful. What a character John was. This remains my favourite podcast. I’ve listened to the Trojan Horse podcast which is also engulfing especially for myself being a Brit and introduces another great storyteller. I know you don’t need to Brian, but I hope you are working on the next epic podcast that brings these stories to us. Thank you.
I never review but…
Episode VI of this podcast moved me, it was beautiful. I haven’t listened to the last episode yet but the rest have been amazingly put together, sensitively and thoroughly reported, and I’ve enjoyed the pastiche of a small town in Alabama, but episode VI is something truly beautiful.
Brilliant
