The In the Red Clay podcast is fascinating from beginning to end. Podcast fans who love exploring unsolved murders and secrets should listen with care. Host Sean Kipe could never have predicted how the small town of Winder, Georgia would change his life. And neither did the family of the legendary Billy Sunday Birt. Sean's meeting with Billy would set off an explosive chain of events that would change everything. Some would consider Billy a dangerous man. But his truth would prove more unbelievable than his myth.

In the Red Clay is a compelling podcast with thrilling storytelling. The title refers to the Georgia clay, where things once-buried tend to get discovered. The show talks about the Dixie Mafia, a prolific killer, and long-held secrets. But the truth behind this legendary figure makes the show the incredible experience it is. With insights from family members and those who knew him best, the legend of Billy Sunday Birt becomes more clear. The truth behind his legend develops in surprising ways. And it is much more complicated than anyone could imagine.

In Winder, the lies seem to go on forever. Uncovered secrets makes the mysteries even more unbelievable. The true story of Billy is as intricate as it is harrowing. His story is one of despair, yet there is redemption in his life that will leave listeners spellbound. It makes the In the Red Clay podcast authentic and compelling.
