  • Not what you expect…it’s better

    Just discovered S-Town while looking for a truly good true crime podcast (the original, investigative and well-crafted kind, like “Your Own Backyard,” not those rehashed stories told by giggling cohosts over mimosas). What begins as a murder mystery morphs into a character study of a truly fascinating person, an “enigma” (honestly) who is the main character of a tragedy of his own crafting . Kudos to S-Town’s host for discovering the real story is not an unsolved murder, but the man who reports ... more

  • A paywall? In this economy?

    I came back to listen to this podcast again. I’ve recommended it to so many people over the years. I’ve listened to it multiple times. And now to see it locked under a subscription service? I’m so disappointed. I won’t be recommending this or any serial podcast anymore. I just can’t see paying for something that used to be available for free.

  • Pay Wall

    Long time loyal fans are what made Serial Productions special. Now folks who were supporting since the first episode of Serial can’t even go back and listen to shows they enjoyed for 10-15 years.

  • Who is profiting from this? I bet it’s not Tyler.

    I can only imagine how John would feel having his story held ransom behind a paywall. Profiting huge corporations and keeping Tyler and many of us in the dark.

    An insult to his memory.

    This is why there are two Americas. NYT reports ABOUT those of us who can’t afford a subscription, but never FOR us.

    We are their ‘entertainment’. Here for their interest. Here to for them to show their concern - but they continue to keep us behind their wall.

    Even if we find gold, we’ll never be one of th... more
