A new season of Survivor means a new season of On Fire, the only official survivor podcast.
spk_0
Each week we break down the game like nobody else can.
spk_0
From how the season is built to why the players make the moves they do, it is the ultimate
spk_0
companion to the show.
spk_0
So if you love Survivor, I think you're going to love On Fire.
spk_0
Follow and listen to On Fire with Jeff Props on the free Odyssey app or wherever you
spk_0
get your podcast.
spk_0
On South listeners, my name is Lloyd Lockridge, I'm the executive producer of Gone South.
spk_0
I want to welcome you to the 40th and final episode of Gone South season 4.
spk_0
Before I go any further, I also want to share some good news.
spk_0
Gone South will be back for a fifth season in the beginning of next year.
spk_0
In the meantime, please continue enjoying the show.
spk_0
Maybe some of you haven't had a chance to listen to seasons 1 through 3.
spk_0
If so, make sure you don't miss out.
spk_0
Also, we love hearing from listeners.
spk_0
If you have story tips or any kind of feedback, please email the show at GoneSouthPodcast.com.
spk_0
For our final episode of this season, we're going to do things a little differently.
spk_0
Rather than Jed interviewing people for Gone South, I'm going to interview Jed about Gone
spk_0
South.
spk_0
I want to thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
spk_0
Jed Lepinski, welcome to Gone South.
spk_0
Thanks so much, it's great to be here on my own show.
spk_0
Yeah, so first of all, what's it like to be the one being interviewed?
spk_0
It seems like you're rarely in that chair.
spk_0
Yeah, it's partly because I don't like to be interviewed.
spk_0
I feel like I became a journalist partly because I was too nervous to say much in public.
spk_0
And so I felt much more comfortable as the one asking the questions and putting all the
spk_0
pressure on the other person to answer.
spk_0
I think that's why I became a journalist in the first place.
spk_0
So we are at the end of season four.
spk_0
How does it feel to be at the end of your fourth season of Gone South?
spk_0
It feels great.
spk_0
I feel tired, but I feel energized too because it feels like a real accomplishment to have
spk_0
written, hosted and produced with you and Tommy, my brother, 40, I mean, really 39,
spk_0
narrative episodes of a podcast in a little less than a year.
spk_0
It's been a big year.
spk_0
You know, for a lot of people, I think, with all podcasts, they come in and out of shows.
spk_0
Some of our listeners might have started this season, some might have come in in season
spk_0
three.
spk_0
Some might be loyal listeners who started with season one episode one, but even those
spk_0
people probably aren't really aware of how this show came into being.
spk_0
Can you tell me about the genesis of Gone South?
spk_0
What did this idea come from?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I mean, I'll just tell you a little bit about my background.
spk_0
I was a journalist for years.
spk_0
I was a freelancer in New York City and then I moved to New Orleans to take a job at the
spk_0
Times Picket Yoon newspaper there.
spk_0
I worked in different beats there, but at the end of my time there, I was a crime reporter.
spk_0
And all that kind of led me to write this story that then became the pharmacist, which was
spk_0
a Netflix documentary.
spk_0
I've mentioned probably too many times in Gone South.
spk_0
And while we were filming that story, I was doing an interview with a DEA agent from New
spk_0
Orleans and he brought this guy, Skip Soule, along with him.
spk_0
And Skip, who has appeared in now several episodes of Gone South, told me the story that
spk_0
day of Margaret Coon and her unsolved murder in St. Hamoney Parish.
spk_0
And I remember thinking, that's a really interesting story.
spk_0
And that became season one who killed Margaret Coon.
spk_0
So you start with journalism with print journalism, move to documentary film, and then ultimately
spk_0
have an idea for a podcast.
spk_0
What drew you to the podcast medium?
spk_0
Yeah, I mean, it was accidental.
spk_0
I was working as a documentary producer at the time.
spk_0
And I got this idea from Skip and I really wanted to explore it, but there was zero archival.
spk_0
There was nothing to show on screen.
spk_0
And I thought at the time I'd listen to shows like the clearing, which was really amazing,
spk_0
the way that that story really managed to ground you in the story through audio only I figured,
spk_0
wow, maybe I can tell this is a podcast.
spk_0
And that's how it all started because the Margaret Coon story didn't work as a documentary.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
You know, earlier you were talking about how you don't really like to be in the front
spk_0
of the story, but as you started making season one of Gone South, really when you started
spk_0
recording it and beginning to hear yourself in the story, did that make you uncomfortable
spk_0
or excited or a little bit of both?
spk_0
Yeah, the answer is uncomfortable.
spk_0
I've always liked most people not like the sound of my voice.
spk_0
And I was extremely surprised when people, you know, not everyone, but some people would
spk_0
say, hey, yeah, I like the sound of your voice.
spk_0
You have a voice for podcast.
spk_0
And that was really bizarre, but also encouraging.
spk_0
And I thought, really, I've never been told that by anyone.
spk_0
So it was a surprise.
spk_0
And I still find it uncomfortable.
spk_0
I still find it strange to hear the sound of my voice, but I've come to accept it.
spk_0
So as you started making your first podcast, what did you discover in terms of the opportunities
spk_0
that existed in podcasting versus the formats that you've done in the past?
spk_0
You know, in print journalism, which I did for years, and especially in the South, you
spk_0
go out and interview people.
spk_0
And they would say these things and the way that they would say them, I just remember
spk_0
thinking, especially when I was in New Orleans, like, oh my God, this person has such a great
spk_0
voice or the way they said that there was such a musicality, the way that they phrased
spk_0
that.
spk_0
Or it was just so funny.
spk_0
And the humor in the line depended all on the way that they said it and the rhythm with
spk_0
which they said it.
spk_0
So when we did Gone South, season one, at least, about Margaret Coon, we got to spend so
spk_0
much time in Louisiana where people have such beautiful voices and such beautiful accents.
spk_0
It was like a feast of different voices.
spk_0
And it was like this brand new opportunity to hear people.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And there's another aspect that I know we're talking a lot about just podcasts in general,
spk_0
but I don't know.
spk_0
Podcasts have been around for a while now and I feel like the honeymoon phase is over,
spk_0
but there's still such great stuff out there that I'm in the mood to celebrate podcasts.
spk_0
So I'm going to ask you another podcast question or two, getting a sense of who the people
spk_0
are and how they say things.
spk_0
You also get that documentary of film, of course.
spk_0
In fact, you also get the visuals.
spk_0
But when you're making a documentary film, as you know, the amount of equipment that
spk_0
you bring into a room, the amount of people that can be in a room for a documentary film interview
spk_0
is pretty startling and also probably imposing to somebody who's not used to making documentaries,
spk_0
which in most cases is everybody who's in a documentary.
spk_0
Do you feel like podcasts are uniquely intimate?
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
I mean, I was a print journalist, but I leapt from print journalism all the way to documentaries
spk_0
and suddenly, you know, just to do an interview, you have to have 10 people in the room with lights
spk_0
and cameras.
spk_0
And they're so uncomfortable, the guests.
spk_0
And I was uncomfortable too.
spk_0
I felt guilty about being people in that situation.
spk_0
I felt nervous asking questions.
spk_0
They felt nervous answering the questions.
spk_0
And I just wanted to take them aside and say like, all right, now let's just start the
spk_0
real interview, just the two of us.
spk_0
But then that was another thing I discovered in podcasting.
spk_0
It was stored the intimacy that I'd experienced and really liked about journalism.
spk_0
Because people are just more open.
spk_0
They're more honest.
spk_0
They're more comfortable.
spk_0
They're more relaxed.
spk_0
And they say more interesting things as a result.
spk_0
I've got a question about format.
spk_0
Our listeners who've been with us for all four seasons or listened to more than one season
spk_0
might have noticed that we went from a limited series format to a kind of a weekly format.
spk_0
In the past, we'd done six to eight episodes on one story.
spk_0
This past season, we did 40 episodes, 39 episodes.
spk_0
And we had a couple of two or three partners.
spk_0
So it's called 30 stories.
spk_0
Tell me about the experience of moving from that limited series format to this weekly format.
spk_0
Yeah, I get that question a lot.
spk_0
And in a limited series show, you're kind of limited to the people who are in that story.
spk_0
Your boxed in.
spk_0
People will take you down like a rabbit hole, but you can only go so far because you have to keep
spk_0
it contained within what that story is.
spk_0
People would often tell me about other interesting stories that they were a part of.
spk_0
Or actually, you know, you shouldn't do this story.
spk_0
There's a much more interesting story you should actually be doing here.
spk_0
And you have to just file out a way and say maybe next year.
spk_0
And in this case, someone would tell us this great story.
spk_0
And we could do it next week.
spk_0
We could talk to that same person.
spk_0
And that happened in this series.
spk_0
Mary Jane Markentell was working with us on one story.
spk_0
And she in the process said,
spk_0
you really shouldn't be doing this story.
spk_0
It's a good one, but you should really be doing this other one,
spk_0
which I play a much larger role in.
spk_0
So when I tell people about this show, you know,
spk_0
Gone South True Crime Show, it's usually sort of the shorthand.
spk_0
They normally envision, you know, two people chatting about crimes.
spk_0
Gone South is not that.
spk_0
What is Gone South in your mind?
spk_0
Yeah, it's not a chat show.
spk_0
And I don't think I have the disposition to do a chat show.
spk_0
I just don't think I would be any good at it.
spk_0
So I listen to so many people who do chat shows successfully.
spk_0
And they're just really beautiful conversationalists.
spk_0
And I'm just unfortunately don't think I have that skill or that talent.
spk_0
What this question also gets at is, is the format of this show as a narrative show.
spk_0
In addition to not really being able to do a chat show,
spk_0
I find that I have a compulsion to write stories.
spk_0
That that's kind of how I think.
spk_0
That's how I understand the world I think is through stories.
spk_0
That brings up another kind of I think unique aspect of Gone South.
spk_0
And we've actually gotten some feedback on this positive feedback from listeners who
spk_0
noticed this and appreciate it.
spk_0
So I wanted to ask you about it.
spk_0
And that's that you're very hesitant to insert your opinion on a story.
spk_0
You really seem to prefer allowing the people in the story to tell it.
spk_0
And you position yourself as more of a guide for the listener to take them through the story
spk_0
as told by the people who lived it or who are experts on a subject.
spk_0
Tell me about that approach to telling stories.
spk_0
Interesting Lee or not.
spk_0
I've never been someone with very strong opinions.
spk_0
I'm kind of amazed by people who have really strong opinions about things.
spk_0
A lot of my friends have really strong opinions.
spk_0
And I just kind of laugh or say, wow, yeah, you really have a real strong opinion about that.
spk_0
I tend not to.
spk_0
At the same time, I really like to tell stories through the point of view of the person
spk_0
who experienced it firsthand.
spk_0
Injecting myself into this story has never been something I'm that comfortable with.
spk_0
But I think that gets at the point too, is that often when I find a really good story,
spk_0
one that we want to tell and go on south, I don't want to interfere with it.
spk_0
Like I don't want to be the one to kind of mess it up or distract someone from what really
spk_0
happened at the time.
spk_0
I think if somebody were to make assumptions about a true crime host,
spk_0
they would say he must have a sick fascination with crime.
spk_0
But for you, it really seems to have nothing to do with that.
spk_0
It's a sick fascination with people and just a deep desire to understand how they think.
spk_0
Do you know where that comes from?
spk_0
You know, I don't.
spk_0
And yet, well, yeah, maybe I do.
spk_0
I mean, I read a lot.
spk_0
I'm endlessly curious.
spk_0
Often to my detriment, I'm always staring at people.
spk_0
I'm always wondering why does a person do that?
spk_0
I have a deep, deep interest and obsession with the decisions that people make.
spk_0
But I'm just as curious about why people commit crimes as I am about people who are motivated to
spk_0
do amazing things and to sacrifice themselves and to live completely selflessly, to work pro bono
spk_0
for years or even decades in order to get justice for a family, a woman, a victim, of a crime.
spk_0
Those motivations are really, really fascinating for me.
spk_0
And every episode of our show has involved a crime in some way.
spk_0
But often, in most cases for our show, the crime has been the least interesting part of the story.
spk_0
It's just often just the catalyst for this deeper exploration of human beings and their motivations.
spk_0
One thing that I find really interesting about the stories that you gravitate towards is,
spk_0
you know, lots of true crime shows will fixate on it on a criminal or a killer.
spk_0
There's a widespread fascination with psychopaths just in our society.
spk_0
But your strongest stories always include a great protagonist.
spk_0
Somebody who is kind of counterbalancing or fighting against the evil forces in a given story.
spk_0
Doing this many crime stories, it seems like it could begin to weigh on you.
spk_0
Do you find relief in these characters that offer something good?
spk_0
Yeah, good question.
spk_0
You can totally get overwhelmed with crime stories.
spk_0
It would have been very easy to do that in Gone South Season 4, 40 episodes of true crime stories,
spk_0
many of which are pretty harrowing.
spk_0
We covered, as you mentioned, a lot of people that I think meet the folk
spk_0
criteria for the psychopath test, Tommy Lynn Sells.
spk_0
We covered a number of serial killers, Felix Vale.
spk_0
And I can't tell those stories without having the counterbalance.
spk_0
I don't think it's fair to listeners because otherwise, in my mind, at least,
spk_0
what does it leave you with? It leaves you with a hopeless, empty feeling.
spk_0
The world is terrible and evil.
spk_0
But I also, in terms of things that we discovered or I discovered in this show,
spk_0
in this season in particular, it's that often the darker the story, the darker the villain
spk_0
in a story, the lighter and the better the protagonist has to be to fight that evil.
spk_0
That happened absolutely in the story public access we did about Scott Rogers,
spk_0
who was a kind of evil incarnate.
spk_0
He was committing, managed to kind of draw out the most beautiful people, like Rana Gray, Mary
spk_0
Jane Markintel, the man that we refer to as Ethan in the story who was a victim of Scott Rogers.
spk_0
These were such beautiful people. They were so selfless and they were so compassionate.
spk_0
And they counterbalanced the evil that Scott represented.
spk_0
And so both for my own protection against nightmares and hopelessness,
spk_0
especially against the backdrop of some pretty terrible things that are happening in the world.
spk_0
I felt it was my responsibility to find these good people and present them to the listener.
spk_0
Hi, I'm Nancy Cartwright. You may know me better as the voice of Bart Simpson.
spk_0
On Simpson's declassified, we're diving into the mysteries that keep the Simpsons forever young.
spk_0
Have you ever wondered how the Simpsons regularly predicts future events?
spk_0
Who better to ask than the show's creators, performers, and writers?
spk_0
The celebrity guess? Be sure to follow and listen to Simpson's declassified
spk_0
or ever you get your podcasts.
spk_0
So I want to switch gears a little bit. The types of stories that you tend to tell on Gone South,
spk_0
they're not ripped from the headlines, they're not splashy new stories,
spk_0
getting a lot of play on social media. Talk to me about the thinking and avoiding what is
spk_0
trending so to speak. You know, a couple thoughts there. I don't have great instincts.
spk_0
I think as a journalist, I never had great instincts, news instincts.
spk_0
My editors were always appalled that I was, you know, often the weeds reporting these stories
spk_0
that had nothing to do with current events, like nothing to do with the conversation currently
spk_0
going on in Brooklyn or New Orleans or wherever else. So it's always been kind of a liability
spk_0
for me as a journalist and it might have been a fatal one. But this kind of stories that we choose
spk_0
for this show, you know, they're old in part because old stories are often fully formed.
spk_0
The kind of stories that we find that we select and choose to do and report out,
spk_0
typically have a beginning in the middle and an end. You can see the full arc of them.
spk_0
And that is often more interesting to me than stories that are ripped from the headlines
spk_0
but are still developing. That's one factor. The other factor is, you know, telling these older
spk_0
stories, it puts us in touch with older people. And this is something else that's maybe not very
spk_0
fashionable right now. These are not people who are really good on social media. These are not people
spk_0
with big social media followings who are going to promote the episode to their million followers
spk_0
and therefore got us a much larger audience. They're often people who don't know what a podcast is.
spk_0
Exactly. They're often people who don't even know what a podcast is. And that's a question,
spk_0
often my first question for the people that we interview is, you know, sir, ma'am,
spk_0
do you know what a podcast is? And most of the time it's yeah, yeah. And some of the time it's,
spk_0
no, like what is that? And you kind of say, well, it's sort of like a radio documentary.
spk_0
You know, it's just audio. You have to explain what it is. And often, they don't really care. They're
spk_0
just interested in telling this story. But, you know, I've really come over the years that we've
spk_0
been doing this show and interviewing a lot of people about stories that took place in the 1980s.
spk_0
Sometimes the 1970s developed a real respect, appreciation, love for people over the age of 60.
spk_0
They have a lot of life experience. They have a lot of time to spare, to talk. And often, you know,
spk_0
they have a lot of experience, life experience that leads them to, you know, draw conclusions about
spk_0
a story that took place in the past. And they have thoughts about what that story means. So, in
spk_0
that way, they do a lot of the work for you. You don't have to, you know, really fight to extract
spk_0
from them the meaning or to help them try to find meaning in a story. Yeah, there's another
spk_0
component to this that I want to get to. These are older stories, often involving older people.
spk_0
And in keeping with the premise of the show, they all take place in the South. You are not from
spk_0
the South. You're from Concord, Massachusetts. You came down to New Orleans and then left.
spk_0
After you left, you launched Gone South. And you come down. We've reported a lot of stories
spk_0
down here together. In fact, Jed and I were in Tennessee recently and somebody we were with,
spk_0
who was from the South, learned that the Jed was from Connecticut. And immediately told a joke,
spk_0
which was, do you know the difference between a Yankee and a Dam Yankee? Jed and I said no. And
spk_0
the guy said, a Yankee visits a Dam Yankee stays. But I wanted to ask, you built a great rapport
spk_0
with the people that you interview here in the South. And Southerners are probably any region,
spk_0
particularly Southerners are skeptical of people who are not from the South. Have you encountered
spk_0
any barriers of being a quote Yankee reporting these stories in the South and stories that depend
spk_0
on a lot of trust between you and the interview subject? Yeah, you know, so I've always felt a
spk_0
little self-conscious about telling stories of the South as a Northerner. And that'll never go away.
spk_0
That'll never go away. You know, I think what you're referring to might be somewhat hostile
spk_0
encounters that we had during the first season of the show. We would talk to some law enforcement
spk_0
professionals, some sheriffs in Louisiana. This was mind you during the pandemic. So I'd have a
spk_0
mask on and they couldn't see my expression. And here I am asking these prime questions about,
spk_0
you know, Margaret Coon and wondering whether corruption might not have been a factor in the
spk_0
inability to solve her murder and was getting some very, very skeptical and cynical and sometimes
spk_0
outraged responses. Rightly so. Rightly so. And in some ways, I sympathize with them. If I were in
spk_0
their shoes, a sheriff, a deputy sheriff who had spent, you know, years trying to solve a case in
spk_0
some podcaster from Connecticut or Massachusetts or Brooklyn for God's sake came down and started
spk_0
interrogating me about my motives and my process and my my intentions. I would be so outraged.
spk_0
I would probably have canceled the interview just like just like they did. So I totally get it.
spk_0
And yet there's no, with a few exceptions, no resentment between you and people you've interviewed
spk_0
and vice versa. In fact, I found that you're incredibly good at building trust and getting people
spk_0
to agree to talk when at first they don't want to. I know that you are fascinated with the south and
spk_0
our big admirer of southerners. I think that they can detect that and can tell that you don't have
spk_0
any bad intentions and that you're really interested in hearing a story. Can you tell me about your
spk_0
feelings towards the south? It's funny because as we're talking. I'm realizing another reason that I
spk_0
might feel uncomfortable about injecting myself into these stories. And that's because I'm not from
spk_0
the south. Maybe if I was from Mississippi, I might feel a lot more comfortable injecting my own
spk_0
thoughts and opinions and experiences into a story that takes place in Louisiana or Mississippi.
spk_0
But I feel very uncomfortable doing that as someone from Yankee territory. So maybe that's
spk_0
another factor that I haven't quite processed or thought about. So that's interesting.
spk_0
At the same time, I do have such deep affection for the south. I spent a year in South Carolina
spk_0
outside Charleston. I spent four plus years in New Orleans. And those were the most vivid years of my
spk_0
life. I remember those years day by day almost. Those years and days that I spent in the south
spk_0
are in technicaler in a way. And I miss the south terribly. And the show in some ways is a way for me
spk_0
to stay connected to the south, stay connected to the people of the south. We go back to the south to
spk_0
report the show multiple times per season, which is restorative for me. I go back and people call
spk_0
me honey and sweetie and baby and put their hands on you and you feel healed. And then I come back to
spk_0
Connecticut in the winter and I hibernate.
spk_0
So, Jed, you were talking about not being from the south. And I think even though you're not from
spk_0
the south, you and southerners are kindred spirits because of your shared love of storytelling.
spk_0
There's a strong storytelling tradition in the south. In fact, there's an entire PBS series called
spk_0
Southern storytellers. Do you think southerners are better at telling stories?
spk_0
You know, I think it's a strange kind of generalization to say that people from the south
spk_0
are better storytellers. There was this quote that I may have quoted before. I think when we were
spk_0
talking to the waybrothers for an episode that we did earlier this season about that show called
spk_0
Kings of Tubalow. The show begins with this guy, Steve Holland, who says some version of
spk_0
the south and its struggle to rise above the past learned how to tell stories, learned how to share
spk_0
tragedy, and then sometimes learn to make up stuff. So southerners were the best storytellers
spk_0
of any area in the world. So that's what he said. And he's smiling as he says it. And it's as if he
spk_0
doesn't really mean it. But then again, it's as if he really does. You know, he's being rye and
spk_0
funny. But it caused me to reflect and think, why is that? I'm not exactly sure. But it was born
spk_0
out in this season. Again, there's something about people from the south that enables them to tell
spk_0
really good stories and being able to talk to them and being able to listen to their stories
spk_0
and being able to make a show based on, you know, Southern storytelling has been this enormous
spk_0
privilege for me. And it's something I hope I can continue doing. You know, what you're saying makes
spk_0
me think of one of the great joys of storytelling, which is seeing the reaction of your audience,
spk_0
whether it's one person or a crowd. But with the podcast medium, you rarely interact with your
spk_0
audience and you've created ways to interact with your audience through social media and your newsletter.
spk_0
But even if you were a filmmaker, you could sit in the theater and listen to people enjoy your movie.
spk_0
But with the podcast, it's such an inherently private medium where you're almost always doing it alone.
spk_0
And in large part, you're kind of making them alone. So I wanted to give you an opportunity to
spk_0
talk about what you hope the listener gets from this show. Or in other words, what are you hoping to
spk_0
give the listener? In some ways, it comes back to that idea of sitting there in the south,
spk_0
when I was a reporter, in some one's house, we're on the front porch with someone or in a warehouse
spk_0
or a factory and having them open themselves up to me. And I think that's part of it.
spk_0
Sharing that with the other person, the listener who's on the other end, who's listening alone in
spk_0
their car, who's walking their dog and listening on their headphones, maybe they're in Australia.
spk_0
We have a lot of listeners from Australia for some reason. And giving them a window into this person's
spk_0
life in Louisiana, a person that they would never ever talk to. Not because they don't want to,
spk_0
but just because the circumstances of their life would never put them in contact with this person.
spk_0
Let alone hear from them in such an unguarded way. So in some ways, you're kind of like a switchboard
spk_0
operator, you know? Like, you know, the call is coming in from Australia and you're connecting them
spk_0
to someone in the deep south. And I'm that switchboard operator. I'm the guy who's just making the
spk_0
connection and trying to open up the phone line and allowing those people to connect and empathize
spk_0
with this person and understand them in a way that, you know, a lot of other mediums don't. And
spk_0
I think that's what we offer in the show.
spk_0
Jed, thanks so much for being in the interview, chair, for once. I hope it didn't make you too
spk_0
uncomfortable. I'm going to give you the reins and let you sign off.
spk_0
Yeah, thanks, Lloyd. And I will say thank you to you, you know, you've been with me for over four
spk_0
years now. My brother is not here right now, but he's also been with us from the beginning.
spk_0
Couldn't have done it without either one of you. And as for the listener, couldn't do it without you
spk_0
either. Your support in reaching out, recommending stories. So many of the stories we did this year
spk_0
were based on listener recommendations. So keep those coming. I really appreciate those. A lot of
spk_0
people know what a gone south story is at this point. And so the recommendations are often really,
spk_0
really good. So I'm grateful for that. And most of all, just grateful to you for listening and
spk_0
supporting the show. So thanks so much.
