Serial: Season One - WBEZ & This American Life

A groundbreaking podcast series about the inadequacies of the criminal justice system. Reporter Sarah Koenig offered listeners a unique perspective on the circuitous process of investigative journalism by releasing her real time examination of a questionable conviction in the form of a podcast series. Serial’s twelve episodes have top notch production values. Without a clear verdict on the innocence or guilt of convicted murderer Adnan Syed—this gripping series does offer two invaluable things to listeners: a microscopic look at the inadequacies of the criminal justice system, and a behind-the-scenes portrait of an investigative reporter at work.
