I'm really digging the Serial podcasts. Anyone else listened through them? Great storytelling and very thought provoking. I'm wondering if any other podcasts out there might be similarly interesting. Anyone?

    If you're listening to Season 1 of Serial (the Adnan Syed/Hae Min Lee case), check out the podcast Undisclosed. It's hosted by a group of lawyers and they dive deeper into the case after Serial ended.
    Thanks, man. Fascinating. FYI, I've been shopping at that Best Buy for years. Drive by it almost every day. Weird... Although, I have my doubts that anything happened there.

    Ha! I've tried hard to remember... Shoot, I can't even remember if I had a phone then. ;) These days, there'd be a photo somewhere - Google Earth or Street View or something.

    Yep, Undisclosed was fantastic. Loved their analysis of all the details of the investigation and court proceedings. Thanks for the tip!

    And how did I forget about my second favorite behind TBTL, Read it and Weep. A good podcast about bad movies, books, and TV.

    So I got hooked on the true crime and justice genre that seems to have taken off after Serial:
    Undisclosed
    Breakdown
    Actual Innocence
    Military Justice
    Accused
    In the Dark
    Up and Vanished
