    Season three episode one

    If you are looking for a story that goes into the justice system but also has a interesting story this is the podcast. Sarah Koenig makes sure the listeners understands the story step by step. During the podcast they use old lips that Sarah goes back and forth explainingn why people are doing this. This was great listening to and totally recommended for others.

    Great Episode

    I think this is a great episode of Serial. I love how they always go in-depth into what they are talking about and how so much information also has people in the story so you don't get bored of the same person. Usually, I like to listen to podcasts on youtube so I can watch them talk but this podcast just keeps drawing me back in and always keeps me thinking so I don't need to see the actual people speaking. I really think people should watch this. It goes in-depth and you also learn the backstory and the now. You also get to learn things that we can do to better the justice system in America and you learn things that relate to your episode.

    We Were Three

    Sorry but as soon as Nancy Updike decided to interject that she ‘didn’t know how people who live in a country with a functioning healthcare system’ I started to lose interest. So, if you embrace that line of thinking ( and that all healthcare should be free) you will at least feel right at home. Episode 1 is somewhat interesting if you like hearing about people who can’t think for themselves but then Episode 2 quickly degenerates into a story about truly unlikeable (and perhaps not believable) Rachel. Ten minutes into the second episode I had enough and shut it off. Don’t waste your time.

    Needs more neutrality

    Seems the writers/podcasters/journalists have a hard time staying neutral when telling these stories. Narratives are obviously clear. Very lopsided; it’s disappointing.

    Gross, unveiled racism with no journalism in sight

    If you seek unbiased or fact-based reporting, “Nice White Parents” is not for you. If you want a hate piece targeting white people, then enjoy this misleading propaganda. This podcast spews a slanted viewpoint that white parents are everything, and the only things, wrong with NYC schools. Whether they enroll their kids, fail to enroll them, run the PTA or merely participate — it is all criticized as the narrator tries to prove her prejudiced point of view. This self-proclaimed “reporter” admits in episode 5 that she ignored evidence of white parents working on yet another integration plan because she decided, without any investigation, that their effort was inadequate and uninformed. All the while she criticizes every move white parents make, she refuses to criticize the POC who wrongly accuse the white PTA parents of stealing money. She neither acknowledged the fact that the non white students clearly don’t want the white students present nor criticized their blatant racism. And while belittling the participating white PTA parents (sole reason: their participation numbers are higher than nonwhite participants), she gives a free pass to the non-white parents who chose not to participate. She never asked why aren’t the minority parents more involved. Instead, she apportions all the fault of the NY school inequality to white parents — and only white parents — while inadequately trying to prove that everything white parents do is wrong. I listened because Sarah Koenig’s name is attached. I am embarrassed that she put her name on such poorly reported project. I expected more from Sarah. Her credibility has taken a hit by this lackluster race-baiting piece. The narrator here only researched, or only included, facts and opinions that support her desired story-outcome. She did not diligently follow facts; she selectively sought ones that aligned with the woke, white-shaming picture she sought to paint. This is only half a story and it was told with the sole purpose of making an anti-white propaganda statement. This was a shameful and gross misuse of this formerly-reputable platform. I’d give negative stars if possible.

    Ok serial

    do all your serials need to be about crime? If you like comedy then the best serial for comedy is “Community News podcast” with Paul and Sasha. It’s the serial for Hilarious, ridiculous, hyper local community and funny neighborhood nonsense that goes on everywhere. What serial is to crime...Community News is to comedy. listen to both. My 2 favorite serial, episodic podcasts.

    Season 1 was good so I figured I’d enjoy the most recent episodes. Seems they’ve now got an agenda to push…not interested in the spin.

    Infatuation and prioritization

    Great podcast series. Very well produced. I think season 1 and Adnan’s case / exhortation in particular is a couple well spoken women (Koenig and McLean) becoming infatuated with a charismatic killer. A single witness in a library (McLean), some collected evidence that was deeming to be unrelated, and different interpretations of cell phone tower data is enough to ignore several eyewitness who were present when Jay and Adnan spoke about the crime, call recipients, and physical evidence that matches testimony. The explanation presented is ‘witnesses forget’, and dependence on tower data, from towers that have changed over the years. Specifically how they prioritize and hand off calls. Koenig should’ve spoken with Hae’s friends and family more. The ‘possessive stalker’ behavior exhibited by Adnan was brushed over in episode 1, and never again comes up!?! Because Koenig is infatuated with him. A fact she acknowledges in multiple episodes. Adnan ultimately benefitted from stoked racial tensions of the day, and is a free man today.

    Another Guilty American Journalist

    ALL minorities are persecuted and innocent, regardless of their ignorance and inability to comply with laws. Stereotypical, bleeding heart view, all complaining with no practical solutions to problems, just whining. The white establishment is inherently evil. Makes you wonder why the entire world wants to come and live in our white supremacist country? The journalism is good, thanks to Ira I’m sure.

    Has aged poorly. Disappointed

    Season 1 of Serial was the first podcast I ever listened to and opened the door to the podcasting world. A stoned liberal at the time with little to no critical thinking skills, I wholeheartedly bought the notion that perhaps Adnan was innocent. I relistened to season 1 recently and concluded that yea, he totally did it and the podcast gives Adnan the benefit of EVERY doubt pointing to racism and xenophobia as the reasons why our justice system could possibly find him guilty. I certainly don’t know what really happened, but I know Adnan is a liar or at least he’s a half liar with an awful spotty memory. Season 2 was ok, but boring. Bergdahl was painted a bit too rosey in my opinion. I couldn’t get past episode one with season 3 out of sheer boredom and disinterest in swallowing anymore propaganda, so I can’t fairly comment. Based on the comments I’m reading, don’t waste your time unless you can believe the hogwash information coming from media concerning Covid the last couple of years. I’m not even a dyed in the wool Republican, but trash like what this podcast and others adjacent like it (NYT, NPR, etc) are dishing out is pushing me more and more towards conservatism.

    Great podcast but you helped a guilty man go free

    Adnon is lying. Jay may have the timeline mixed up but he is so detailed that I don’t think he fabricated the entire story. It seems to me that they probably killed her together and turned on each other afterward.

    Serial was my first podcast - hooked for life!

    Serial was the first podcast I ever listened to, and I used to wait on baited breath for the next episode of season 1. I have listened to thousands of episodes of other podcasts since then. This is still one of my top favorites. The quality and the subjects they choose - the way they let people who lived it tell it. It’s excellent. Love your work, guys! I actually found Ira and This American Life from you… instead of the other way around - lol
