Decent production and nothing else to offer.
The fact that this incredibly ordinary panel attributes quotes to the wrong people and refers to Adnan's attorney by the wrong name (she is both Susan and Sarah during their first 6 episodes) says it all - they haven't listened closely, have no understanding of investigative journalism or storytelling, and accuse Koenig of extreme bias when I have literally never heard a series so biased and uninformed simultaneously in my entire life. Sorry guys, Adnan's trial attorney's name was Christina, not Sarah or Susan. Sorry guys, Jay used the phrase "animal rage" himself, which was incorrectly and rather ironically described as an example of Koenig's biased editorialising. The level of baseless and, frankly, revolting bashing of Sarah Koenig was insane. There are genuine and measured criticisms that could have been made of Serial, and this addresses zero of them. Criticising a Peabody awarded journalist when you write for The Onion… well, no simile needed. The actual recording is fantastic - audio quality is high and clear. That's where the adherence to any standard of competence or integrity end.

I never write reviews but this podcast is really bad. It sounds like a group of folks who didn't even like Serial were forced to do this. Can't AV Club get folks who are passionate to criticize the thing? Sounds unprofessional too which is ironic since they're discussing a really...Read full review »

I tried listening to this podcast because it represents a point of view different from my own which I am trying to understand. Unfortunately it seems like like they have not listened to the same podcast as the rest of us, or maybe not listened to Serial at all. The clincher for me was when they...Read full review »
