Serial

Literally?

 

Yes, literally.

 

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.

 

Why 'Serial' Star Is Closer to Murder Conviction Retrial

Adnan Syed begins his post-conviction hearing today in Maryland's court of special appeals. He now has a potential alibi witness (Asia McClain) and better information about the unreliability of cell phone data.

 

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.
