Even if you not a podcast fan you can’t help have heard about Serial, last year’s gripping podcast which examined doubts over the guilt of Adnan Syed in the murder of Hae Min Lee. It wasn’t without controversy, notably turning the terrible crime into a form of entertainment and unleashing an army of untrained amateur detectives to interfere where they might not be welcome, but it was a fascinating series.
The new series starts today. The following description is cut and pasted from The Guardian:
The podcast phenomenon Serial has returned as a high-profile platform for Bowe Bergdahl, the US army sergeant who spent five years in Taliban captivity after vanishing from his post in Afghanistan, to speak publicly about his alleged desertion for the first time.
Ta for the tip. Really enjoyed the last one, so just signed up on iTunes. The previous series is still there, for the curious.
