Customer Reviews
Good season, a bit biased. Sarah, you were duped.
Sarah— Years ago I listened to you on the first season of Serial. Wow! I have flashbulb memories of that season. It was sooo good because it was balanced in opinions/views. We could create our own opinion with evidence presented. Good journalism My whole world change in consuming media at that time.
Anyway, Season 4 is good. But Sarah, you are biased and it shows. The two episodes on the iguana feeder shows who you got duped. He is deceptive, a rule breaker, and guilty. Take your blinder off Sarah.
Great content but Sarah’s delivery… ugh!!!!
Am I the only one bothered at the way Sarah Koenig speaks every line as though she’s reading off a list? It’s so distracting!! It’s like a SNL parody of an affected NPR reporter. If Serial wasn’t so interesting I’d stop listening.
Hopelessly biased
I’ll make it short and sweet: don’t waste your time on this.
