Comedy Central sent me an email about the video clip from the Colbert Report titled Stephen Talks “Serial”.

Journalist Sarah Koenig talks about “Serial,” her true-crime show that has emerged as the most popular podcast in history.

I found this so interesting that I decided to see whether I could get access to this “podcast”. There is a web site Serial the Podcast.

It’s Baltimore, 1999. Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, disappears after school one day. Six weeks later detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. He says he’s innocent – though he can’t exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon. But someone can. A classmate at Woodlawn High School says she knows where Adnan was. The trouble is, she’s nowhere to be found.

I listened to the first episode. I think I am hooked. That is the reason I am writing this blog post. I will be returning again and again to the above link as I have the time to listen to the other episodes.
