Brian Reed - the host and co-creator of the hugely popular 'S-Town' podcast - talks to Simon about his upcoming Q&A events in the UK.

Brian spent more than 3 years collating content for 'S-Town', which began when a man named John B. McLemore asked him to investigate an alleged murder in Woodstock, a small Alabama town. The series won widespread critical acclaim for elevating audio storytelling into the realm of great literary works, as it mesmerized audiences with the mysteries surrounding the life of a brilliant yet troubled man.

Brian has investigated multiple past FBI operations, as well as produced stories about many strange coincidences. His career in journalism has also helped an immigrant gain asylum in the U.S and prompted a government committee to interrogate the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Part conversation, part Q and A, the three live dates aim to give spectators the opportunity to ask Brian their burning questions and find out more about the intriguing world of 'S-Town'.

'S-Town' is from the team behind 'Serial' and 'This American Life' - recently reached a new high-water

mark for the audio-show industry by some considerable distance. The seven-episode series closed its first month with over 40 million global downloads and achieved an unprecedented 16 million downloads within its first week alone.
