Bibb County is the setting for the hit podcast “S-Town,” with the “S” standing for a vulgar word for excrement. The seven-part show was produced by Serial Productions of the similarly popular podcast “Serial” and “This American Life.”

More than three-quarters of those downloads were in the United States, with the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia rounding out the top four.
