“On the conviction an Adnan Syed, I had to co-teach a mystery murder and our middle school class had to listen to the Serial
Podcast and after reviewing evidence etc, they had to come to their own conclusions... I am happy that some of my students had one of the same questions as I did. We feel...”Read full review »

“Just a few ordinary Americans expressing their opinions with an air of importance. No new ideas or theories are expressed or explored. Ideal if you just want to listen to people talking about the popular podcast Serial.”

“Trying to ride off the original "Serial" podcast. Often manipulate facts to their benefit. Wouldn't hire these three as my lawyers, the UVA law school innocent project have a better chance than these muppets.”

“I think they should just can this podcast. There is one gal I think her name is Marahe, babbles and constantly says " do you know what I mean?" at the end of way to many sentences. Annoying to listen to. I won't be listening when they return.”Read full review »

“I listened to Serial Season 1, and was looking for more podcasts about Adnan Syed's case. Undisclosed is great, Truth and Justice is good, Crime Writers On.... is simply amazing.
The Serial Serial? Not so much. I don't have a problem with them thinking that Adnan is guilty - I keep changing my...”Read full review »
