S-Town.

Serial · True Crime · 2017

S-Town, a gripping podcast from the creators of Serial, immerses listeners into the enigmatic world of John B. McLemore, an eccentric genius residing in Woodstock, Alabama, a stone's throw from the titular "Shit Town." This investigative narrative takes a dramatic twist from exploring an alleged murder in a small town to a profound exploration of McLemore's complex life, relationships, and the hidden treasures of his maze-like property. As the story unfolds in the heart of Alabama, it paints a vivid picture of the South's cultural, social, and economic landscapes, diving deep into themes of mental health, queerness, and the stark contrasts between rural and urban life. Engaging and deeply human, S-Town evolves into a testament to one man's legacy and the indelible mark he leaves on a community and beyond, transcending its initial mystery to offer a poignant, multifaceted look at American life.
