ICYMI: Serial Didn’t Free Adnan Syed
In 2015, Serial launched the case against Adnan Syed for the murder of Hae Min Lee in to the national conversation, but over the years the mistakes that show made continued to add up. Adnan Syed’s release from prison earlier this week would have been a great chance for the Serial team to admit their wrongs, but that was not the case.
On today’s episode, Rachelle is joined by Daisy Rosario to talk about the impact Serial had on the culture, and the case itself. They speak with Rebecca Lavoie, a writer and host of Crime Writers On…, about what's missing from the podcast, the New York Times continuing to ignore its journalistic responsibilities, and how Serial is responsible for the current state of true crime culture.
This podcast is produced by Daniel Schroeder, Rachelle Hampton, and Daisy Rosario.

Customer Reviews
Enjoy this but.....
While I enjoy this podcast, Katie's voice is very annoying and Gabe's delivery can rock you to sleep. Their content and view is relevant, but the people who did this podcast for season 1 were much more interesting than these two.
Not entertaining.
Soo, the whole point of this show is to bash Serial?! That’s helpful… thank you, “journalists”.
Just awful
Not only is the woman extremely difficult to listen to, but who the hell cares what they think? How about coming up with an original idea instead of just piggybacking on the success of another podcast. Worthless podcast and worthless hosts
