Serial - A MUST listen!!



Hello fellow geeklies! 

I am in the process of composing my first topic and that will be ready for next week. The topic for discussion is Social Constructionism!! The what's, the who's, why it matters and its future!!

In the meantime I really really REALLY suggest you listen to this amazing podcast called 'Serial'.




Serial is a two season non-fictional podcast that is narrated by Sarah Koenig.  The podcast follows Sarah's own investigation into a murder at Woodlawn High School, Baltimore, 1999.  A fellow student of the school, and the victims then recent ex-boyfriend, Adnon Syed was arrested and convicted of the murder. The problem? Adnon is still protesting his innocence 17 years on.  

Listening to Sarah and her amazing explation of the year long journey that she has taken fully captures you as a listener and really makes you think and switch from Adnon being guilty to Adnon being innocent. 

I myself am only in the first season but have really enjoyed each episode so far - the podcast highlights issues with eyewitnesses, the justice system but also the amount of pressure that is placed on detectives to find the culprit to a point where serious errors occur that could jeopardise the case as a whole. 

Whilst listening to Sarah you feel as though you are taking the journey with her into finding more about the horrendous murder of a college school girl - but you also are unsure of what is around the corner in regards to evidence that is uncovered and how this would effect Adnon. 

I really do suggest that you give this and try and let me know what you think - below is the link for the first episode:



Happy listening 🤓🤓
