I highly recommend this epic story. It’s exciting, shocking, and heart-wrenching. I binged all the episodes and will miss hearing Stoney’s voice. Glad there’s a second season.

I can’t even find the right words right now to explain just how amazing this podcast is or how great Sean Kipe. I’ve heard 3 podcasts from Sean now and each one of them had me HOOKED. I’m left here just wanting more. This podcast specifically is so different from any I have ever heard before....Read full review »

Impeccable, professional, and laser-focused, documented look at a the infamous Dixie Mafia - through the eyes of the eldest son of the infamous Billy Sunday Birt and other law/legal officials. In Seasons 1 & 2. Sean Kipe has a true gift for guiding interviews and questions that sift through...Read full review »

Perfectly produced. Kept my attention and hit close to home for sure. Fascinating and unique perspective from the family while balancing out the reality of these crimes.

Binge listened to season 1 and 2. Great listen
littlesmokie77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/23
I don’t like the ending. The writer try to make you think that the criminal was a hero. A criminal is just that… A dirty thug. Nothing more, nothing less!
ed hi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
Great story and narration right up until the episodes where you tried to make Billy a saint. Splitting hairs about who and how he killed people is a joke. The man was a piece of garbage and never should have been given the ability to visit with family in prison. I had a father that beat women and...Read full review »

The amount of work and detail that you all have put into this is astonishing I can’t thank you or Stoney enough. Great job!!

This is by far my favorite podcast that I have ever listened to, and I have listened to a lot! Beautiful storytelling, exceptional honesty, and a magnificently complete picture. Thank you for sharing.
yosugarface✌️ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/23
Emotional fore me. I have a similar background and it see a lot of similarities between Stoney and I. Great job producing. I wish there were more like this but good like finding a story teller like Stoney.
smoovman23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/23
Please, more stories. Your podcast was worth every second. Thank you.

I’ve listed to many, many podcasts and this is one of my all time favorites. So well done. Narrated to perfection. I’d listed all day if I could
Crwilki2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/23
I listen to so many podcasts and this is one of the best. It was interesting and emotional. You and Stoney painted such a vivid picture of the time, it was like you were there. Stoney is such a gifted story teller and I love listening to his accent. There is definitely a lot wrong with how things...Read full review »

I couldn’t stop listening. Captivating story. I’ve recommended to everyone I know-
JulieBTifton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/23
This podcast is remarkable. It’s nuanced, deep and gripping. Might be the best podcast series I’ve ever heard.
El757 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/23
Best podcast I’ve listened to in a long time, if ever (& I’ve listed to a LOT). Beautiful story telling that teleports you to the time and place. Highly recommend!
jbearrrr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/23
Growing up in the Boone area, this unsolved crime has always been unsettling. Glad to see things have come to light.
jsgreene1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/23
Is so condescending it’s hard to listen to the story.
HELP4people via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/23
This podcast is riveting, it’s told well, understood easily, smooth to follow- and Stoney is my friend in my head, he’s the kind of guy I would have lived to have as a father- already planning a trip to NC for no other reason than to give a hug and get a hug ♥️ So who’s writing the screenplay? I...Read full review »
DjJack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/23
This absorbing podcast perfectly captures the paradox of good and evil and allows the story to be told by the subject’s son and “gen-u-ine” storyteller, Stoney. While the events and characters are incredible enough to make a great show, the redemptive power of a son’s love is the star.
milla trilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/23
This podcast has so many horribly intriguing stories that will leave you crying, cheering, and occasionally nauseated… but at the end of season 1 you will be evaluating your relationships, your life, and just maybe, after listening, you will decide not to take “too many wrong turns” at the...Read full review »

I listened to the first episode and was hooked, next thing I know I am listening to the last episode and wanted more but there was no more and was bummed. It is well done and well researched there are some TC podcasters out there that need to listen to this series to see how a proper True Crime...Read full review »
ScareCrowA7X via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/23
Sean tells a wonderful story. He manages to make terrible acts committed by ruthless men into a human story. I will always remember Stoney’s love for his father. I can’t wait for the next podcast!
justalittleoldwoman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/23
Yes! I listen to podcasts every day and have for several years. This is the best one out there. I recommended it to all of my family and friends.
Cndnation66 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
One of the best podcast I’ve ever listened to.
"E"2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
This is a tragic story. The saddest part is that the majority of the listeners are going to walk away seeing Billy in a positive light. Perfect dad, loving husband, great friend, honest to a fault, ideal inmate, good Christian man, and he even killed himself for the benefit of his nurses. No...Read full review »

A fantastic story told brilliantly. One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. Need a movie now. Manchester UK
Biggles08 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/09/23
At this point I’ll listen to anything Sean puts out. All of his podcasts are well researched and extremely factual. I really enjoy his perspective and the stories he chooses to tell are always intriguing
KLea1903 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
Was a great story teller. I don’t believe it was glamorizing. We as human beings love violence anyway as long as it’s happening to someone else.
lords and kings. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
I grew up right down the road from Winder so I’m happy to see local folks and histories getting a voice - I listened to both seasons for that reason. But it’s clear by season 2 that Sean Kipe is way out of his depth with the trauma that has shaped the participants’ lives. His fatherly love...Read full review »
LPLPLP:? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/23
Season 1 one was good. I think the narrator failed to challenge Stoney's perception of his Dad as a loving father evidenced by leaving him with such a burden for life. I like Stoney, he's a sharp ole boy that lets his country style belie his intelligence ( emotional & intellectual)...Read full review »
Xrtgum via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
This is by far one of my favorite podcast and Sean like knows how to tell a story!! I love everything mafia first episode I was hooked!!
Viece541 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
I am absolutely loving this podcast! This is so well done and my new favorite! Thank you for this story 😊. By far my favorite podcast! Ooohh I love it!!!
stupid??? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/23
Wow! Happened upon this via a Cold Case ad on a long car ride home. I’m a sucker for all things mafia and love a rich story rooted in a small town, so I was intrigued. I was immediately captivated by Sean’s storytelling and Stoney’s amazing voice. Was bummed for my 5 hour trip ended and I had to...Read full review »

I am new to podcasts and this was my first. What an outstanding story. Moreover, Sean’s narration and writing is stellar. I loved every minute and hated to see it end.
Olympic app via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
I cannot even recall some of the podcasts that I have listened to. This one out ranks all the podcasts. I will forever be suggesting it to anyone with a pulse.
Don1527 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
I’ve grown up in Georgia, 5 minutes from winder and have NEVER heard of the Dixie mafia. Been awesome to learn about the history of my home state🔥🔥
buster moon 5,000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/23
Hands down the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I’ve listened to it a dozen times and it never gets old.
Michaelrob4080 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
I would love to see this series continued, maybe more on some of the other crimes committed by Georgia Mafia
Capt. 40oz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/23
One of the best, if not the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. So real and honest. Well done Sean.
70 Cheyenne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/23
Interesting but a lack of objectivity runs end to end. The real narrator is the son of a convicted hit man. He doesn’t seem to really blink at his father’s record of killing 50+ people, but he does take issue with the implication that his father, addicted to speed and known for strangling his...Read full review »
RedCharl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/23
This is, hands down, the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I finished in 24 hrs. I couldn’t stop listening. Stoney is a great storyteller. Bravo! 👏
Podeyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/23
I’m listening to this podcast for the second time. I cried and was very moved listening. This story has life lessons that I will carry with me in my own life. Everyone should listen to this story. Very thankful for Stoney and for the creator of this podcast. Thank you so much.
Apberrong via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/23
The only complaint I have about this podcast was that it ended!! So freaking good!! I loved it. I felt like I was listening to stories from an old friend. Amazing job and Sean Kipe has the best voice for this!!! Not many podcasts I can binge listen to but this was one I couldn’t stop listening to!
slimyfox47 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/23
But this was hands down the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I laughed and I cried. My jaw dropped open more than once. Stony’s voice felt like home…like a warm hug from the people I grew up with and loved so much. Thank you, especially, to him, for having the courage to tell this story and...Read full review »
