Serial

I have a new obsession, and it's Serial, brought to you by the producers of This American Life.

Episode 1
Wikipedia Entry

Nine podcasts so far revolving around the murder of Hae Min Lee in 1999. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed is currently serving a life term in a high security prison. The podcast casts some doubt over the conviction of Syed because of all the inconsistent testimony. It's very interesting and highly recommended. It's the most popular podcast in the world right now for a reason. I've listened to every episode so far and I'm still not sure if he's guilty or innocent. I don't expect a resolution, but it's definitely an entertaining piece of entertainment.

A couple of my coworkers also mentioned this to me. Thanks for reminding me, I definitely plan to check it out.

I listened to the first two eps over the weekend- pretty interesting so far.

I heard the first episode or two on NPR a few weeks back. Not really the kind of thing I seek out for entertainment, but certainly compelling.

I'm up to Episode 8. Pretty damned great, although... yeah, I have no idea is Adnan did it or not. I could go either way, but I'm amazed he was convicted on essentially no evidence.

I saw news today that there will be a second season, so yay!
