You guys listened to S-Town yet?

Joint deal with serial and this American life.

Just finished S town today. I liked it a lot, but not as much as original Serial.

Saw this when it first came out and thought it was the dumbest video in the world



Now that I've listened to the podcast think it's hilarious


I was the same way. I didn't think it was stupid before, but after watching Serial, I thought it was brilliant.

If anyone is looking for other podcasts that are pretty popular and sort of along the line of Serial, I'd recommend In the Dark. It deals with the Jacob Wetterling kidnapping. They started it before they were able to solve the case last fall, but it is still pretty interesting. You can tell the host was trying to make it like Serial though.

And this is a wildcard, but Finding Richard Simmons is strongly interesting, even though I have no interest in Richard Simmons.

I have no idea how that chick nailed Sarah Koenigs voice and speech like that, but it was incredibly perfect and made the skit

Accused is another really good one. Done by the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Listening to this right now. Through the first 5 chapters. It's captivated me.


Just finished episode 1. The character profile of John is intriguing and fascinating....not hooked quite yet but interested to keep going.


Is this based on a true story or complete fiction?
