Summary
Today's show is about the hit podcast, S-Town, and why it has our brains in a tizzy. S-Town explores themes of racism, sexuality, suicide, grief, greed, class, and intelligence, and it does so with an incredible knack for narrative. We discuss the details of the show as well as the ways it captured our attention.
