So I know everyone is writing about the Serial podcast so I debated about posting, but seriously, it's so good (and controversial) that I can't resist. This American Life finally has a spin off podcast and it's called Serial because they are tackling a long term story verses one story per episode. And boy did they chose a captivating one to start things off. I don't want to give away too much but they are re-investigating a murder that took place in 1999 in which high school student Adnan Syed was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. Sarah Koenig reports on this real life murder mystery that has me (and the rest of the nation apparently) totally enthralled.
Trust me, it's worth streaming.

I'm addicted! By the way - did you totally feel guilty after the "The Deal with Jay" episode. I totally thought he could be the charming sociopath and then after last week's episode I felt a little guilty for pinning the murder on the eclectic "Rodman" of Woodlawn HS. We shall see...
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Jay! I don't know what to think now! I just hopes it wraps up nicely at the end, but I have a feeling it won't...
DeleteYESSS. I am getting the sinking feeling that this is going to be an unsolved mystery. But I will still be listening to every minute!
