I literally JUST finished listening to the first episode…I was hooked after about 15 minutes! What in intriguing story, can’t wait to see how it plays out.

I was addicted to it! So interesting and well produced that I am recommending it to everyone I know :). I also hope they carry on with another story ( fingers crossed) x

You’rer so scathing Ziloa and you haven’t even listened to the series yet! Like you said you need to listen to both sides of the story so why not actually listen to Serial before you form an opinion based on the opinions of others!

I loved it! And I’m also in love with death sex and money http://www.wnyc.org/shows/deathsexmoney/

If you’re a fan of the podcast, Jay finally broke his silence for The Intercept. He gave a 3 part interview, that is rather interesting. Once again his story changes and he offers more details to this case.

I listened through three or four episodes and gave up. So slow. The same stuff over and over. He said. She said. He said. She said. He said. She said …

Hi Emily,

Yes, my son told us about it and it was the topic of email and in-person discussions over the holidays. If you are interested in more information about the case — and you think that our justice system only works for some of us (mostly white middle-class people like myself) then you might also want to take a look at Rabia’s blog: http://www.splitthemoon.com/ She is the relative who first got in touch with Sarah Koenig.

Like you, I have a writing, journalism background so beyond the story, I found the choices Sarah made in how she presented the information quite fascinating. A good listen all the way around! #freeadnan

Before you go to ANY other podcast, you need to listen to Slate’s Serial Spoilers and Serially Obsessed (this one is done by three women). Both additional analysis of Serial from producers, journalists, and lawyers/prosecutors, both well done, and both posting new eps after Serial ended (Slate just did an analysis of the Jay Wilds interviews on Firstlook). Have fun down the rabbit hole (I didn’t even mention the Reddits…ooops).

Favorite podcasts: 99% Invisible, Strangers, Love and Radio, New Yorker Fiction podcast, Criminal, Slate’s “Working” podcast AND SO MANY MORE. I just love podcasts…

I tried listening to SERIAL – but I really don’t like listening about murder…but it did get me into exploring the podcast world! I have waaay too many subscriptions but so far…

For cooking – I like: Radio Cherry Bombe / America’s Test Kitchen / The Splendid Table
For productivity – I like: Beyond the To Do List. I’ve also listened to one episode of Tranquility Du Jour and thought it was good.
For art – I’ve listened to a couple of episodes from Studio Break – about artists (not “celebrities”) and their process/growth. I always need to be inspired by the persistence and patience and perseverance of normal artists.
For literature/writing – I listened to the last 2014 episode of A Tiny Sense of Accomplishment. Two compelling short stories were read. Fun.

I’m thinking Garance needs to do a podcast!

Dear Emily,

I was so surprised to read this post earlier today. A friend recommended Serial to me just little over a week ago and I am hooked on crime podcasts ever since. After binge listening to Serial (I am still not over having finished all twelve episodes), I changed to Criminal (not bad) and am now listening to Sword and Scale (okay, but a little too gruesome at times). However, my favorite find is nothing like Serial (not in any way related to crime), but definitely deserves mention. It’s The Moth! Basically, it is’s just real people telling real stories. Like life, sometimes it’s hilarious, sometimes it makes you chuckle and there are moments when you just don’t know what to make of it. I am sure The Moth is going to get me through waiting for Serial Season 2. Happy Listening! Bisou, Hope
