Anyone else listening/listened to this? I am obsessed.

Never heard of it but looks interesting.
You'd probably be particularly interested since the whole season centers around a Baltimore murder from '99. You probably know some of the places they are referencing.
It's really interesting. Free on iTunes. I'd recommend downloading the first episode to anyone who likes crime/investigative type of dramas. This just happens to be a true story.
Listening to the first one. It's pretty fascinating.
I've read about this someplace else. Sounded like it was really good.
So I finished the thing today on my way to work after binging on it all night last night... "Spoiler" below...
Just finished listening to it, and it was awesome. Even after listening through the whole thing, I would still do it again. It really was a fascinating story, and gives you plenty to think about throughout.

Damn you Buff, you're cutting into my work time Netflix streaming. I can't stop listening.
Let's Rid3!!!!
Listened to first and last episodes. Super interesting story but I'm going to pass on listening to the rest....probably. My wild (and probably narrow-minded and offensive) speculation in spoiler.

http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cul...ocial_facebookThis morning at 6 A.M., “DUSTWUN,” the first episode of season two of the “Serial” podcast, quietly made its début. It’s the first chapter in a season-long exploration of the case of Bowe Bergdahl, the American former prisoner of war. Bergdahl walked off his Army base in Afghanistan in 2009, and he was soon captured by the Taliban. Six U.S. soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan after his disappearance, some claim, died directly or indirectly because of his actions. Bergdahl was held captive for almost five years and released in a prisoner exchange in May, 2014. The first season of “Serial”—about the 1999 murder of a Baltimore teen, Hae Min Lee, and the conviction of her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed for the crime—asked a specific question: Did he do it? That question raised broader questions about reasonable doubt, about memory and truth, about the U.S. system of justice. The second season does something different. The basic facts in the case of Bergdahl are known, and most parties involved agree on what they are. But what those facts mean, what Bergdahl actually experienced in the Army, his motivations for leaving his platoon, and the many terrible consequences of that decision are more complex, even existential.
