Limetown is another Serial-style fiction podcast that delves into the mysterious disappearance of an entire community in the mid-oughts. Like Serial, the show follows its host, Lia Haddock, on her quest to figure out what actually happened through conducting a slew of interviews all over the country. Also, like Serial, the host is likely the most polarizing part of the show. Haddock isn't exactly likable, but she performs her role well as the audience's point-of-view character. The story is so spread out that it seems to lull at points, but that all makes sense as it becomes clear toward the end of Season 1 that everything was carefully placed in service of what might be the best season finale of any show in 2015, podcast or otherwise. Limetown was released irregularly, and has concluded its first season. Season 1 is available for download for free.
