The Savannah Sideways Podcast
Manage series 3685458
Savannah Sideways is a ten-episode journey into one of the South’s strangest true stories — the saga of ancient Roman statues hidden in plain sight. When marble relics resurfaced in a Savannah, Georgia City Council meeting nearly a century after being unearthed in a cemetery, writer Jessica Leigh Lebos got obsessed and started digging. What she found spans continents and centuries: Gilded Age tycoons, Revolutionary War heroes, vanished mansions, Georgia’s longleaf pine forests, barrier-island battles, Gullah Geechee heritage — even a cameo from James Brown. History, mystery, and Southern Gothic collide in this unforgettable deep dive into Savannah’s secrets.
