But in Season 5, we’re widening the lens.Through deeply reported, narrative-driven stories—and conversations with journalists, historians, musicians, and people who’ve lived these stories firsthand—we’re digging into the myths, scandals, and power structures that still shape the South… and, in many ways, the country itself... more

Stories are getting more desperate and unlikely as the host asks listeners to provide content
I’ve always liked this podcast because of the investigating and facts. I’ve lived in Ozark my whole life and graduated in 99. I’m blown away by the crazy theories and the non-facts that Matt is talking about. It sounds like he only talked to a certain group of people that feed him a ton of BS. ABI had the car for years and the airport BS is insane. Oh and every police officer gave dna to the ABI. Not taken by OPD. Matt may be a good journalist but he fouled this one up.
Can I listen to any crime show without it taking a sharp turn into politics? I just want to listen to something/anything that doesn’t have a political agenda. Second podcast I’m leaving this week.
Thoroughly researched and expertly presented. Best podcast I have in my library.
Stick to the story. I have no interest in your political views.
