S-Town was incredibly popular when released but rarely comes up now, so it is worth checking out.

You should listen to S-Town. Gives a lot of insights into a brilliant mind that got stuck in a rural area.

An exceptionally good podcast about a brilliant, dysfunctional vintage clock restorer; it's their favorite podcast of all time.

S-Town is hands down the best podcast they've ever listened to, and they can't recommend it enough.

If you're into horology, S-Town is an interest podcast about an amateur horologist in a small town who made a lot of money restoring clocks.
