madrobins: It's a meatloaf.  Dressed up like a bunny.  (citibit)
So I've been listening to a spinoff podcast from This American Life, called Serial.  Rather than do a one-segment story on some topic, as TAL does (or a several segment episode on a particular topic, as Radiolab does) it's a multi-episode show following one story--in this case, the examination of the murder of a young Asian woman named Hae, and the conviction of her former boyfriend Adnan.  One episode a week, rolled out on Thursday morning.

It's rivetting.  Each week when we reach the end of the episode I'm in that state that I imagine readers of Dickens must have been at the end of the installment: I want more!  Don't stop!  Come back!

Really, go give it a listen.  At this point, you'll have the advantage that there are seven episodes available (out of an 8 or 10-week show) so you won't have to wait as much as I've been doing.

Is it Thursday yet?
