For years, Gone South has been a podcast about crime in the American South, but for our new season,

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 a lot of ways, the country itself.

From re-examining the cultural meaning of the Alamo, to tracing the family history of Alex Murdoch,

to investigating the federal indictment of New Orleans's former mayor. Each episode stands alone.

But together, they paint a picture of what this region really is and how it came to be.

With 40 new episodes released weekly, Gone South is a show for people who want to understand

how history lingers and why it still matters now.

Follow and listen to Gone South Season 5, an Odyssey podcast, available now on Apple Podcasts,

Spotify, or wherever you get your shows.
