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.

Wow

Wow. Just wow. Fantastic storytelling and a truly amazing and eye opening look at life. So glad I found it.

Waste of time

It starts strong and obviously produced very well but after the second or third episode, it’s just a story of people bickering over valuable possessions. Not much of a murder mystery. I listened to every episode waiting for something to happen. Disappointed
