Deeply moving
Wow. This podcast feels like a engrossing book you can’t put down, except you get to hear the voices of the characters and music that brings out the emotions of it all. Really beautifully done.

Captivating Story
Your story captivated me from the first show; I was definitely hooked from there on…. Each show had at least one or two incredible twists. I learned of this podcast after visiting relatives who had moved to Woodstock, AL and told me of this story and they were 100% right that it was a truly captivating. Woodstock is a beautiful place with deep woods, rolling hills and kind, sweet people. Thank you for telling this story-

Skip It
I kept listening because of all of the excellent reviews. I kept thinking we’d get to the “point,” but it turns out there wasn’t one. This was a non-story. Don’t waste your time.

Excellent
I’m from N. AL. I think there’s a fascination with ppl who are from the south, specifically those who live in small towns like Woodstock, AL. I think ppl wonder why they are how they are, how they got that way, etc. While John B. certainly isn’t the norm, this gives you good insight of the different types from this particular area. Brian did a great job drawing the listener in to this story as John B. did, drawing Brian in with his consistent initial phone calls. I couldn’t stop listening b/c Brian did such a good job helping us understand where his curiosity was coming from, as well as convincing the listener that they shared that same curiosity. Thanks, Brian, for helping us understand the world (and John B.) a little better.

This was so unethical
This reporter dissected and revealed the life of a non-public figure without his permission. He took advantage of this man’s death to share his most personal stories, including his sexual orientation. I feel dirty for even listening.

Excellent!
I'm obsessed! What a fantastic podcast. I just can't stop listening because I want to find out what happens. I heard this podcast mentioned on Morbid and I'm so glad I checked it out!

Wow
This podcast is amazing. I heard it mentioned on Morbid and just had to come listen. I couldn’t stop once I started. John B was such an interesting person. Thank you for sharing your experience of getting to know him with us. This story really tugged on my heart.

Hmmm
Not sure what to think. Brian does a great job and is easy to listen to. To me it seems as if John was a bored, depressed outcast that seemed somewhat jealous of other people in the community. I feel like he misheard info and spread it like wildfire to others, then having the podcast about his life to show his life had the meaning he wish it had?
