Popular Reviews of S-Town

S-Town is epic.No matter where I was listening I was transported to Alabama amongst the tree's and the s**t.Could not stop listening to this twisted tale.Highly recommend to anyone.Enjoy.

Compelling, but unknown why it was made. Seems too probing and weird of a deep dive into a sick man's life.

This podcast started out good bro, but then it gets weird and ends weird bro.

A challenging and rewarding podcast. Try to learn as little as you can about the events described in it, because you should let this unfold as it does without knowing in advance what's coming. Is it perfect? Are there questions to be asked about how it was told? Yes, but that doesn't change the deeply moving nature of the questions asked and answered within it. Few podcasts go this deep.

SPOILERS: This podcast is a complete bait and switch. If you are interested in a deep dive into the strange life of a disturbed but brilliant southern man, then go ahead and listen. If you were looking for an investigation into murder and cover-up, you will be sorely disappointed by the end of the second episode. The producers of the TAL should be ashamed of themselves for how they exploited the main character of this story.

What an amazingly good podcast. John b is an enigmatic character with an astonishing talent and mind. well worth a listen.

Damn fine storytelling.

If you are from the south (or Alabama in particular) and sort of stuck out for being weird or eccentric then you will really identify with this incredible story.

A Fascinating story is full of interesting characters. Loved it!

Excellent writing and production.

Amazingly interesting personalities. This podcast is like a good book that with characters and a setting that seem almost surreally weird.

Honestly, I almost quit this podcast after the first episode. John was obnoxious and little difficult to listen to but I’m glad that I decided to continue and listen to the whole story!

Probably my favorite podcast.

I wish I could discover it all over again.One of the best audio experiences of all time.Nuts.Gut wrenching.Human.Revealing.Sad.Beautiful.Enough about me, the podcast is great - set aside time to leave your body and enter an amazing journey to the heart of John.This is epic, listen or die never having really taken in a true gasp of shock.

I had no clue this story was true as I listened, I just thought it was just great story telling and voice acting like the many audio dramas I listen to. Imagine my surprise when I was looking in to the story and the first article to pull up would be one saying the podcast was being sued for exploitation.

This show was fantastic to me. I loved the southern-ness of it and was able to really visualize it. While I was sad to see the story take the turn that it did, I'm glad we were able to hear the story. A must listen.

Entirely gripping. Great character development. Crazy that this story is true.

Compelling. Heartbreaking. The one podcast who's story I almost know by heart. This podcast isn't for those who like to multitask since it requires your attention.

my first podcast and still my favorite!

This was one of the most captivating podcasts I've listened to in a while. Couldn't stop listening to is.
