This is the most engaging and compassionate podcast I have listened to. I love listening to the accents of those in the South- it’s like listening to melting butter. I love listening to the all of the facets of a story. I was hooked from the beginning.
Jed Lapinski is so talented. He has such a kind and compassionate way of engaging with the victims families and everyone involved. The stories are intriguing and well told.
I especially like hearing all the voices and points of view. Gone South is a model podcast!
For a reporter, he mispronounces a lot of words. FYI, it's New Orleans' , not New Orleans's.
This is my new favorite! Really well done, honest and nonjudgmental.
