Gone South
For years, Gone South has been a podcast about crime in the American South. But in Season 5, we’re widening the lens.
Through deeply reported, narrative-driven stories—and conversations with journalists, historians, musicians, and people who’ve lived these stories firsthand—we’re digging into the myths, scandals, and power structures that still shape the South… and, in many ways, the country itself.
From re-examining the cultural meaning of the Alamo to tracing the family history of Alex Murdaugh to investigating the federal indictment of New Orleans’s former mayor, each episode stands alone. Together, they paint a picture of what this region really is and how it came to be.
Gone South is a show for people who want to understand how history lingers and why it still matters now.
Written and hosted by award-winning journalist Jed Lipinski, Gone South is the recipient of the Edward R. Murrow Award for Outstanding Achievement in Journalism.
Previous serialized seasons include:
Season 1: Who Killed Margaret Coon?
Season 2: The Dixie Mafia
Season 3: The Sign Cutter
