From Afternoons, 2:18 pm on 13 April 2017

This afternoon Katy looks at the latest podcast from Serial Productions and the This American Life editorial team. This groundbreaking podcast was downloaded more than 19 million times within the first week. The 7 x 1 hour episodes follow a tip about a possible murder coverup in the the small Alabama township of Woodstock. Central to the story is eccentric clock restorer named John B. McLemore, who, in recorded phone conversations, rants about the moral and cultural status of Woodstock, which he refers to as "S**t Town."
