Serial is a podcast from Serial Productions, a New York Times company, hosted by Sarah Koenig. Serial unfolds one story - a true story - over the course of a whole season. The show follows the plot and characters wherever they lead, through many surprising twists and turns. Sarah won't know what happens at the end of the story until she gets there, not long before you get there with her. Each week she'll bring you the latest chapter, so it's important to listen in, starting with Episode 1. New episodes are released on Thursday mornings.

9Serial Season 3: Episode by Episode As the show leaves mystery and suspense behind, the question will not be whether Serial is capable of an anthology of one-off pieces of reporting. The team remains incredible at turning journalism into something listenable. The question is where it will zig from something like NPR’s Embedded, which, especially in its pre-Trump episodes, got incredible results from bottled acts of reporting. Is Serial offering you consistently good reporting, or is it offering a grander vision about what undoing the criminal justice system would look like.

10One of the best podcasts I have ever listened to, especially in the true crime category. It’s amazing how much buzz this podcast created around the actual crime which took place in 1999. Totally worth a listen

8Great podcast. A bit overrated imo though. Not moving itself very much throughout the season and the story could be told in less minutes

9Incredible podcast with really engaging stories that will have you come back for more over and over again. I’ve heard that season 1 is made into a documentary also. Only bad thing I can come up with is that it sometimes moves a bit too slow and it feels like they could have achieved the same with less episodes! Amazing journalism 👏

10If I had to pick my top podcast of all time it would be series 1 of serial. Each episode takes you through a ‘did he do it’ story of a boy who is in prison for murder, and as well as being extremely well produced, flips your opinion on whether he’s responsible or not. I actually loved series 2 although lots of people don’t agree. I thought the insight into how diplomacy works and the army was really fascinating. Series 3 I was way less engaged by as it doesn’t tell a continuous story, more singular episodes. Still interesting on how a courthouse works in Cleveland but very different pretence to 1 & 2.
