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

I love this podcast. I listen to a few true crime podcasts, but this one is a cut above. I think it's important to know these stories, real life stories.
I have really loved this podcast from the very beginning, but am sorely disappointed in the direction it’s taken. Jed, you’ve taken a left turn and it’s not good. I’ll be saying a sad goodbye.
Season 5 is all about racial grievances. This isn’t 2020….No one cares to have this nonsense rammed down their throats anymore.
As a southerner this is a great podcast. I would love to see an entire season on the craziness of Memphis. Great start would be West Memphis Three and also Young Dolph murder. So many controversy laden stories
Every season gets better than the last. I LOVE this podcast and can’t wait for more seasons.
