Those of you who have listened to the amazing S-Town podcast may not know what John B. was a member of our parent organization, the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors. In 1999, John B. placed this advertisement in one of our publications. We thought we would share this with all the S-Town fans out there who have come to know John B.

just finished this podcast and...it hit me very hard. i think everyone needs to hear this man's story.

What S-Town really offers listeners is a melancholy portrait of a queer man for whom that identity was complicated—a source both of pleasure and confusion, connection and loneliness. There’s just one problem: While producer Brian Reed’s attempt at understanding and representing McElmore’s experience is admirable, choices in the framing, writing, and editing of the series reveal a glaring—and for the show, hobbling—lack of queer knowledge.

No words, just... sad and moving. Hurts my heart a little. Immaculate story telling here in Alabama.

Additionally my absence makes room and leaves some resources for others who deserve no less than I have enjoyed
