Knit to This
Knit to This: S-Town
Were you caught up in the massive popularity of the Serial podcast? Well, the producers of Serial and This American Life have gone for it again, with S-Town.
You can binge-listen to all seven episodes here.
It’s gripping. It’s also disturbing and dark, with bad language. I’ve just started, but I’m hooked.
You got me into The West Wing, all 156 episodes, and I love it. I remember seeing some of it when it was airing, but binging is so much more fun. Now some podcasts. What a life!
Well now you can rewatch all those episodes to listen to The West Wing Weekly podcast!
We’d hate for anyone to have to knit in silence!
Gimlet Media’s Crimetown has me hooked. Who knew Providence was such a hotbed of crime and intrigue! Now off to check out S-Town.
S-town is truly amazing. I would describe it as literary, Faulkner meets Larry Brown. It is poetic and profane. After finishing it last week, I’m still thinking about it.
I binged on this a few weeks ago while walking and knitting. So gripping and disturbing.
I followed the link to the podcast to look around and found a place to listen to the soundtrack, which I am doing right now. It’s compelling enjoyable music – I will definitely try out the podcast later.
I down loaded it to listen on my back-to-back 11 hour flights, but my Bose noise cancelling headphones failed me. First time ever. Guess this means I’ll have some serious knitting time when I get home.
If you appreciated S-town, check out the website and especially the instagram account, which includes pictures of clocks and time-pieces. (This comment will either not make sense to those who haven’t yet listened, or will make them think the pod-cast is different than it is.) They’re beautiful.
Just listened to the first 3 episodes one after the other. Reminds me of the 2003 Italian movie The Best of Youth. Might listen to more this evening. While knitting of course.
I loved this. It was southern gothic at it’s finest.
I didn’t like it after the first 20 minutes, but gave it a second chance, and I was HOOKED. Binge listened over 3 days. Wow. The ending was perfect.
But should it have been made at all? Don’t read this until you’re done, but food for thought. http://www.vox.com/culture/2017/3/30/15084224/s-town-review-controversial-podcast-privacy
I just started serial. I’m on Season 2, ep 4. I’m loving them.
