Serial - the podcast

Anyone been following this? It's a production by people involved with This American Life, a long form investigation into a murder case from 1999 cast over 12 episodes that range from 30-50 minutes a piece. It's been a smash hit and become the most downloaded podcast of the year and after plowing through 8 episodes today I can really see why, it's very engaging journalism. It's set over a number of different narrative arcs that really have you questioning whether the kid (he was a kid at the time) is innocent or whether he is guilty as the jury in the case found. The team go back over the case in minute detail, revisiting key characters and trying to get to the bottom of the whole affair.



If you haven't heard it already I'd certainly recommend it, perfect holiday season fare to while away the lazy afternoons.
