Is anyone listening to the Serial podcast?

It's the new thing, but damn, it's good.

What's it about?

I haven't listened to this week's episode yet, but I'm really enjoying it as well! What a fascinating case. I'm just hoping there are some answers in the end.

What's it about?

"It's Baltimore, 1999. Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, disappears after school one day. Six weeks later detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. He says he's innocent - though he can't exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon. But someone can. A classmate at Woodlawn High School says she knows where Adnan was. The trouble is, she’s nowhere to be found."

I'm six episodes in, and hoping to catch up soon. I want to go read the reddit threads and the weekly GBCN posts but I don't want to spoil myself.

Oh, and don't worry, I realize that the concept of spoilers for real life events that happened 15 years ago is sort of weird.

Just started it!!!

I've listened to every episode, going into the subreddit-hole of theories and I'm it totally swayed in either direction. I have always loved true crime so it's been a really interesting listen for me.

I finally got caught up this week and I'm not in love with it like most people seem to be-but it is good.

I started listening to the first one on my drive home. Not quite through it yet, but I'll finish it up while I'm running errands tomorrow. I like it.

I want my H to download it so we can listen to it on our drive to GA for Christmas. I've heard it's really good! 

[justemily]

I'm all caught up and have delved into the subreddit as well and it's addictive!

I agree - waiting 2 weeks is going to be torture!

I also found the Slate "Spoiler" podcast and it's pretty good, too! It comes out within a day or 2 of Serial and they dissect the episode.

I fully caught up this week and I don't think Adnan did it, but I can't get past Jay, unless Jay did it, but why?

I think people expecting a neatly solved ending tied with a bow are going to be disappointed. I heard the creator has been fundraising for a season 2.

It will be a different story though.

Jay did it, I think he bumped uglies with Hai, then killed her so Stephanie wouldn't find out.
