Wanted to love this!
But Sarah’s fast pace of speech (which frequently descends into babbling) put me off.

Gets worse with every season
Season 1 was really cool. The rest.... terrible!! Every season is a big step down from the previous one. I couldn’t even make it through 2 episodes of the 3rd season. So boring . Time to hang it up serial

S1: Possibly Best Podcast in History of Podcasts
I’ve listened to it a few times over, and recommend to everyone. Would love to hear a follow up season on it. Couldn’t really get into the next seasons though

Love this podcast
I do feel uncomfortable realizing how recent segregation is alive in the US. As a parent of charter school graduates, WOW. Eye opening! I loved Nice White Parents.

Too Political
Loved season 1 and 2, but everything since has been geared towards liberals. Leave politics out of it and you will be fine. Sadly that won’t happen though

Amazing important listen
Like another reviewer wrote, all of the negative reviews are by white people who can’t look within to see how we might affect other people. Serial is always well researched and everyone will be better and more informed for listening to it.

Adnan
Although I think he’s guilty, because of his age, I don’t think he should have gotten life in prison. I also think that there was racial issues that led to the police having tunnel vision . In the end they got the right guy, but brain development and reasoning are not fully formed at 17. I think he was a teen trying to cope with a breakup, possibly sociopathic tendencies and made an impulsive decision . I think a rehabilitation sentence was more suitable for this crime because of his age (after a 15 year sentence)

First Season was a Red Herring, Other Seasons were terrible
Thank you Sarah for bringing me into the world ofpodcasts back with your first season. Unfortunately, the next installments of Serial were lackluster and lazy.

Amazing Journalism
This podcast is very well done. The negative reviews are 9/10 white listeners...I can tell because they think discussing race and the issues within the country make things worse as if them avoiding them makes things better. Great job pissing these ppl off. Keep investigating and delivering the information in a clear and concise way. The world needs more people like you.

Highly, highly recommend
As a North Carolina native, who has thankfully moved far away, this is such an important podcast. Please give it a listen, you’ll learn a lot about the real issues in NC.

More Liberal Propaganda Mixed with Some Facts
Basically, this lady takes some facts, blows them out of proportion and comes to the conclusion that all the problems discussed in the story are due to racism without thinking what else could cause the problem. Moreover, it’s an extremely racist podcast that constantly talks about race and how bad white people are. Not impressed.

Luv it
I love this podcast. It covers stories I would have never thought to give a second thought to listen too. S-town are you kidding me. Nothing but laughter & other emotions.

Serial finds intriguing stories and really digs in
Love the kind of stories they find, and how minute the level of detail they cover. Thanks for the fantastic production value, too! Season 1 is the pinnacle of podcasting thus far. Nice White Parents will hopefully open a lot of eyes to how pervasive racism is, even if you’re some far left liberal. Keep up the good work.

What am I listening to?
I’m starting to think season 1 was a lightning in a bottle moment. Season 2 was... different but decent. Season 3... totally forgettable. And these last few ‘spin offs’ or whatever you want to call them are super meh. I actually feel a little hoodwinked. Everything after season 3 I would 100% not have listened to, if not for the serial brand, they are just... meh. Serial really had something special and I feel like it was squandered. The production value on everything is top notch but the content as a whole leaves me scratching my head a bit. I find myself zoning out constantly and genuinely disappointed when an episode is over, saying to myself “that’s it?” Theirs no ‘ah-ha’ moments or feelings of discovery. I don’t feel like I’m part of the team, learning dark secrets or uncovering hidden clues. That’s when you know your listening to something great. When you as a listener feel like you are their working the puzzle together with the podcast team. Season 1 set the standard in podcasts for that, unfortunately it’s been less and less with each season since.

Boring and supportive of racism

Zoe :(
Serial: amazing. Nice white parents: eye opening. The improvement association: what a let down. Who keeps letting Zoe Chace speak? To put it as nicely as I can, her voice is extremely not nice to listen to. I appreciate her opinions and perspective, but she should get someone else to read it for her.

Nothing short of fabulous
I have been a religious Serial listener since the beginning and this team gets so much better with time. They have been a staple in my podcast library and am always excited when something new comes out. So glad that new material is coming out! Give them a listen, you won’t be disappointed!

Bleh.
I could not get into this podcast, I tried for a few seasons but ultimately couldn’t continue to listen. Wasn’t impressed.
