    I'd loaded Serial on my phone a while ago and today I actually listened to the first and most of the second installments. Interesting, though I'm curious to see how it is carried out over 12 installments. Not willing to go "oh WOW" yet but it definitely piqued my curiousity.

    12 installments in season 1? I want to make sure I have all of them

    I don't think you know what that word means.

    I don't think you've listened to the show.

    Unless the show is actual audio of someone stirring shit, I don't think it matters.

    It matters.

    Serial is back! Until you get a chance to listen, here's all the background you need.

    Who He Is: On July 1, 2009, Private first class Bowe Bergdahl went missing from his outpost in Mest, Afghanistan. As described by fellow soldiers, the conditions at Mest were abysmal—no electricity, a trash-filled “pit of hell,” a job stirring a literal giant pot of excrement—and what Bergdahl describes as “leadership failure, to the point that the lives of the guys standing next to me were literally, from what I could see, in danger.”

    I think you've completely missed my point, which was just poking fun anyway. Carry on.

    I think you were trying to make A Funny, except that this episode had an entire section that was literally about guys stirring shit. I think we all got what you were trying to do. How'd you like the first episode?

    Well then I stand corrected and humiliated. My apologies to cranberry.

    Is anyone listening to season two? I unsubscribed after the last episode. I LOVED season one and couldn't wait for new episodes, but this one just didn't do it for me. I wasn't all that jazzed about the topic to begin with, but I figured Sarah Koenig and crew would come through and make it compelling listening. That didn't happen and I had enough. I hope they get their mojo back for season three. If there even is one.
