KILZ FILLZ Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I think SERIAL was one of the first true crime podcasts to really blow up. The first season was released in 2014 and outlined the court case against Adnan Sayed, who was convicted of killing his girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999. after 20+ years in prison, the conviction has been overturned. He was released yesterday. I listened to it back in 2014 as it was being released, did anyone else? Does anyone else remember this? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I feel like I saw a documentary on this guy sometime last year or the year before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Delle Donne Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) i listened to a good bit of serial when it blew up. i was never really comfortable with how close she got to adnan, it kind of threatened her credibility as a narrator to me. i don't know if he did it but the police/prosecution definitely botched this case. i'm glad the conviction didn't stand. there's a bigger conversation here to be had about true crime podcasts as a genre. serial really started it, i think, and held people because it was entertainment that was just journalistic enough that people could take it in uncritically. true crime podcast people have conventions, collect paraphernalia, all that stuff. almost uniformly white women. always read as kind of a weird subculture to me.

I don’t listen to a single women ran true crime show. All my shits dudes. LPOTL. Sword and scale (despite all the pc controversy) . Wondery?
