One of best podcasts on the web began posting Season 2 yesterday. Serial examines a particular non-fiction story over the course of several months, just as a drama on television often does. And it has become one of the leaders in effective podcasting.
Season 1 featured an investigation into the murder of a high school girl in which the convicted killer, her ex-boyfriend, may have been wrongly imprisoned. The facts of the case just didn't add up, so reporter Sara Koenig, who hosts the series, re-interviewed witnesses, lawyers, police officers, and the convicted man himself to seek the truth of the events. Season 1 was riveting, and I suggest checking it out.
Season 2 explores the case of Army officer Bowe Bergdahl, who left his post and was held for five years by the Taliban. If you remember the news regarding his release back to America, many wonder if Bergdahl abandoned his platoon and even committed treasonous acts of aiding enemies. This season of the podcast will take a closer look at this strange story.
Serial is a spin-off of the popular radio show This American Life and is of the highest production quality. If you are interested in journalism, storytelling, audio production, and current events, Serial is the podcast for you. Enjoy!
