Serial – Best Podcast Ever

141023_CBOX_SerialPodcast.jpg.CROP.promovar-mediumlargeWho would have thought that the best show of the year is not on TV but is a bloody podcast. It is called Serial and it is just brilliant. Actually more than brilliant. Serial is a podcast exploring a nonfiction story over multiple episodes. First released in October 2014, it is a spinoff of the radio program This American Life. Season 1 is an investigation into a 1999 Baltimore murder. Hae Min Lee was an 18-year-old student at Woodlawn High School. Lee was last seen at approximately 3:00 p.m. on January 13, 1999. Her corpse was discovered on February 9 in Leakin Park and identified two days later, with the case immediately being treated as a homicide. Lee’s ex-boyfriend Adnan Musud Syed was arrested on February 28 at 6 a.m. and charged with first-degree murder, which led to “some closure and some peace” for Lee’s family. A memorial service for Lee was held on March 11 at Woodlawn High School. Syed was found guilty of Lee’s murder on February 25, 2000 after a six-week trial, and was given a life sentence despite pleading his innocence.
