About this listen

 Host: Brian Reed

About the podcast: The story follows a man named John who despises his Alabama town and decides to do something about it. He asks Brian to investigate the son of a wealthy family who’s allegedly been bragging that he got away with murder. But when someone else ends up dead, the search for the truth leads to a nasty feud, a hunt for hidden treasure, and an unearthing of the mysteries of one man’s life.

Who will like this: Listeners who love long-form storytelling

Our review: When I heard there was a potential murder mystery podcast recorded a few towns over from my own hometown, I fled to listen. As an Alabama Native, It warmed my heart to hear about how a local personality known by so many led Brian to record such a brilliantly executed story. The twists and turns continue to surprise me and I find myself revisiting the story over and over, even years later. From learning how to (unsafely) gold-plate a dime to the scavenger hunt of how gossiping can get out of hand – you will truly never know where this story will lead. Most importantly it highlights how isolating and lonely it is to exist outside of societal norms in a small southern town within the Bible Belt. — Michelle Moezam, Post Wanted Sr. Social Media Marketing ManagerLookmam Economics True Crime
