S-Town is fuckin awesome. I can't get over my idea of John as a lower-pitched Dale Baskets, though.

Finished S-Town. A truly excellent, affecting piece. Chapter VI especially was one of the best pieces of dramatic non-fiction radio/podcast work I've ever heard. I'm not really disappointed, but I do think it was a little disingenuous to make almost half of the episodes (3-5) seem like they're gonna be about this feud and conspiracy and mystery behind John's estate and who's responsible for what, only to go back to being about John himself. Feels like they only did it to have a hook to keep people who were less into the personal side listening, but I personally was fine with the exploration of John's life and would have rather they hadn't leaned so hard on it. The way it ends in the final episode with Tyler telling Brian something off the record and that's it is pretty goddamn good though. My one MAJOR issue is that it feels a little too voyeuristic. I'm not overly certain this should have been made, to be honest.

Wait, is that what people mean when they say Brian obviously outed the guy? That he was clearly Tyler's dad? I didn't get that at all.
