    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.

    How long are they. . .. I never have time just to listen to a podcast. I've tried, can't do it. I can't put it on in the car during commute. . .kiddos in the car for most of the time.

    The first one I think is 50 minutes +... The others have been between 30 and 40 minutes I think. I am going to start the 4th episode this afternoon when things slow down. I think there are a total of 12 episodes.

    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...

     
    There is no ending... I feel like I know the exact same amount as I did after listening to the first episode. Not sure if I would listen to it again knowing that there is zero resolution

    My original intent was to find a way to make fun of you for this... but I'm on episode 7 now. *******.

    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.

    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.

     
    Does Sarah ever explore the parent angle ("Adnan's people")? As psychotic as it is, that's the only motive that seems to fit from what I heard--hardcore fundamentalist parents seek to teach wayward son lesson about violating religious dictates, they get help with the dirtiest of the dirty work, but their attempts to pin it on Jay fail through lack of understanding of evidentiary methods like cell towers and such. idk, makes me feel racist for speculating in this manner but then again, there are some seriously radical Muslims.

    I did some work when I was working as a law clerk on a similar case, I should recommend it to Sarah except that the prisoner is dying of cancer.

    Similarities: ineffective assistance of counsel, ignored confession affidavit, shady gov't case--oh, and biggest of all dude was Muslim...article was pretty interesting iirc

    Season 2 - episode 1 dropped today. Already hooked.

    This 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.
