PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS for anything spoilerish.
S-Town is a new podcast very much in the vein of Serial. Just like Serial, it was made by a staffer who works at This American Life, though it's not Sarah Koenig, so if she was your favorite part of Serial then you'll be disappointed.
When they advertise S-Town they really play up the comparison to Serial, in the hopes that they can share the same audience.
The cool thing about this one is that it's only 7 episodes and they released them all at once, so you can binge listen. The other cool thing about that is that they finished the whole thing before releasing it, so hopefully it has a better ending than Serial.
The basic gist is that there was a murder in a small town, and the murderer's rich parents helped him get off scott free. That's all I know so far as I've only listened to the first 10 minutes of the first podcast. Will post again once I've heard the rest of episode I.
