Madmen Cross The Water

Madmen Cross The Water

By Sons of Town Hall

Madmen Cross The Water is a comedy fiction podcast following the exploits of Sons of Town Hall, an early 1900s folk duo with a mythical origin story. Hosted by superfan Elias B. Worthington, it unfolds as a music history deep dive charting the globetrotting pair’s misadventures, underpinned by witty writing, cinematic production, and a beautiful original score. Madmen Cross The Water is a must-listen for fans of indie folk music and off-kilter storytelling. Think: Dolly Parton’s America if it shared a tour bus with Welcome to Nightvale and Iron & Wine.
