Serial
Anybody listen to it?

If you don't, it's a weekly podcast produced by the same people as This American Life, where they tell one story over 12 shows.

The first season is about the story of Adnan, a 17 year old kid in Baltimore who was accused and found guilty of murdering his girlfriend Hae in 1999 and has been in prison for 15 years. Did he do it? The case was based almost solely on some testimony from one person that was suspect at best. Each episode goes through a different aspect of the trial, or the people involved, or the circumstances surrounding the crime.

It's fascinating.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I fucking love podcasts and I've been running dry of what to listen to recently so I'll give it a go.
I've already listened to hardcore history by dan carlin, everything by ricky gervais, the black adder and the mightyboosh shows and myths and mysteries in archeology.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I've been listening to serial since I replied to this threat.

It's really good, it does have the slight feeling of being a waste of time due to the fact the case is already over and this guy got found guilty.

But I personally find it really interesting because I'm into police/crime/detective stuff.

The guy who got put in prison does seem innocent when he talks about the crime, but then it also seems like he did do it based on the evidence. But then on the other hand the evidence up to now from what I've heard seems like it could possibly be circumstantial.
