Serial returns with a history of Guantánamo told by people who lived through key moments in Guantánamo’s evolution, who know things the rest of us don’t about what it’s like to be caught inside an improvised justice system.

Customer Reviews
This podcast got me into podcasts
Phenomenal journalism! Mind blowing revelations. Compelling yet balanced story telling.
Serial for grown ups
Classic pacing, research, intelligence, humanity and humour. Loved the team research and approach but Sarah’s pacing and inflection are my favourite in podcasting (tied with Ira Glass).
