I’m up to date! Are you? And I can’t wait until Thursday–can you? You’ve listened to Serial the podcast right? No? Well, talk to me in a week once you are caught up. Last Wednesday I listened to the first episode of this phenomenal podcast called Serial. Since then I haven’t been able to get it off my mind; hence I have listened to all eight episodes. Serial is a podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig and produced by same creators of This American Life. According to Apple, this Serial has “quickly become the most popular podcast in the world!”I suggest you listen. Just go to the website, click on episodes, and then hit the “download” icon. I’ve managed to just stream the episodes from my phone without having to actually download an episode. Now because I am so intrigued by this 15 year old murder mystery, I’ve gone out and created a Serial roundup just to support its popularity and demonstrate how viral this podcast has become. Really, go on now, listen!
1. Here’s the first link you need: the Serial Podcast.
2. First for the encyclopaedic rendition, you could start your Serial education with the Wikipedia entry.
3. If you don’t believe how popular it’s become you can trust this article from Today.com or this pop culture one from Refinery 29.
4. To see how everyone is participaing you can join the conversation on this Serial Reddit discussion.
5. Alternatively you could listen to the podcast ABOUT the podcast! Yes, that is happening on The Onion’s AV Club where there’s a podcast just to talk about the Serial. It’s called The Serial Serial!
6. You could also simply just like the Facebook page.
7. Finally for a bit of comic relief have a watch at this spoof.
(Since I’m up to date with my Serial episodes, I’m now going to go check out WBEZ where it seems like there’s just an awesome amount of podcasts to choose from to listen.)
