S-Town is a podcast hosted by Brian Reed from Serial Productions, a New York Times company. The story follows a man named John who despises his Alabama town and decides to do something about it. He asks Brian to investigate the son of a wealthy family who's allegedly been bragging that he got away with murder. But when someone else ends up dead, the search for the truth leads to a nasty feud, a hunt for hidden treasure, and an unearthing of the mysteries of one man's life. Subscribe today at ny...

Pay wall?

Therealval•6/2/2026

I listen to this every year now serial owns it and they're gonna lock it down? We literally can't have anything anymore Jon B. Miss you!

Tedious and Brief

I can’t believe I returned to this podcast for the fifth time to find it behind a paywall. Jon B would hate this more than anything. Shame on you.

Paywalls are BS

I’ve listened to this podcast three times now because I love it so much. Such a beautiful, heart wrenching story told in a very compelling way. I can’t believe I can’t listen to it anymore unless I pay… As if NYT / Serial needs more money… Pirate it somewhere if you can instead.

One of my favorites

I’ve listened to this twice because it is one of the most compelling stories I have ever heard, told beautifully.

Paywall BS

I listened to this podcast when it first came out. I wanted to give it another listen and it’s behind a paywall. Serial and NYTimes can kick rocks.
