Structurally, episode one feels like a parody of these kinds of podcasts

“I listened to the first episode 1 of season 2 because it was on the Rough Translation feed.
I wasn’t paying my full attention because I was doing cardio and was rather tired, but at some point in the episode, it started doing the hype building formula from Serial season one by mixing a in medley random provocative/heart-wrenching quotes to suspenseful music, and I thought “Ok, it sounds like the episode is about to start now”. Then I looked at my phone, and what I thought had been the end of a surprisingly long 10-15 minute intro was the end of the first 45 minute episode.
All I got from the first episode is that it’s about immigration to the USA, and they worked a long time to chase down a story that started out being out about X, but became something much more, and a whole bunch of other cliched podcast tropes.
It seems like the content of what they’re going to discuss might be interesting and substantial, but I have no respect for a producer that would put out an 45 minute episode teaser trailer as the first episode that doesn’t say anything.”
