S-Town

From the creators of Serial, S-Town starts as a murder mystery in a small Alabama town and becomes something entirely different — a meditation on genius, loneliness, time, and what happens when a brilliant mind is trapped in a place that can't contain it. John B. McLemore's story is so extraordinary that critics debated whether it was journalism, biography, or literature. It was downloaded 40 million times in its first month, making it the fastest start in podcast history. S-Town expanded what a podcast could be.
