- Loved it when it was a crime podcast.
Used to be a fantastic crime podcast but like everything with people on the left they shoehorn their politics into it.

United States25 days ago - Gone south, gone woke
I loved the first two seasons, but it took a sharp turn to woke. Leave politics out of podcasts.
Apple Podcasts1Terrible135United Statesa month ago - A Favorite
Can’t fill the void once I’ve listened to all of the episodes. 5 seasons of excellence.
Apple Podcasts5Bama5320United Statesa month ago - What a shame…
What a shame. I really loved this podcast until this season. Why does everyone have to bring their politics into it? Just struggled through the interview with Patterson Hood. As a Southerner and long time Truckers fan, it’s disappointing how he easily disregards any opinion that doesn’t align with his own. Honestly, to hear that he moved from Athens, GA, to Portland, OR, pretty much tells you all you need to know. As the song says “a Southern man don’t need you around anyhow.”
Apple Podcasts1GoDawgs1974United States2 months ago - ‘Gone South’ is a most appropriate title
Season 5 of Gone South is just sad. Yet another podcast that started out great then slowly turned into full-tilt sociocultural propoganda. If Jed doesn’t tighten it up, I will unsubscribe. I don’t need indoctrination.
