From the producers of Serial and This American Life, S-Town is a wonderful introduction to the podcast medium. Be prepared to disappear for a day when you sit down to listen to this seven part show.
You have to listen to the full first episode of the S-Town Podcast to unfurl what it is really about. You won’t really know until the final episode, and even then you will wonder. Is it about the complexity of identity, or the complications of being a many faceted man in a place meant for simplicity. As the story unfolds and you try to put together the pieces of a life; each episode a mosaic of man who was born in the wrong town or maybe, its the story of a man who could only be created by the friction of his personal passions rubbing up against small town Alabama . Perhaps John B. Macklemore could only have been born in Shit Town Alabama. You should listen for yourself to find out.
