How is there not a Serial thread yet?

Jay is def the main issue in this case. I just don't believe any of this "inconsistencies." Even that juror thought Jay went to jail - which jesus christ….

I've listened to most of them twice, each time I realize there is something I'm missing.

Julian - this will be perfect for your drive.

This is the reddit thread my friend had said I should read - but Im not ready for that rabbit hole yet. I think I'm going to wait until the entire season is over. http://www.reddit.com/r/serialpodcast/comments/2n3k65/everyone_seems_to_accept_adnans_foggy_memory_when/

Another read: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/splitthemoon/2014/10/life-plus-30-murder-lies-the-anatomy-of-a-wrongful-conviction/

It is the blog of Rabia Chaudry, who first brought the case to Sarah Koening

I'm on the fence,the lack of physical evidence plus the possibility of additional people concern me.  I also think the next episode involving the lawyer will be very interesting…

Are there any photos of Jay anywhere? It is driving me crazy I can't figure out what he looks like.

Also, the second season was successfully crowdfunded!

Podcast?  No moving pictures with the story equals, yawn. Go back to the stone age, Marconi.

If there were moving pictures involved people would be crashing cars all over the world

Now I'm getting addicted to Start-up, the guy from This American Life and Planet Money who is striking out with his own company to produce podcasts. It's following his progress to get his company up and running.  It like Serial is very well done..  Of course it will be interesting to see how in the wake of the success of Serial how investors will look at Alex Blumberg's Startup.

This guy is clearly guilty. Jay was clearly an accomplice after-the-fact if not a true co-conspirator.

Syed has an appeal hearing in January!

I can understand someone thinking "oh, the state's timeline doesn't make sense, they clearly have some events out of order"/there wasn't enough to surpass "reaonable doubt" or thinking Jay played a much larger role in the events. But I see absolutely no way this guy didn't do it from anything we've heard. This girl is "missing" for weeks and weeks and all of her friends are calling her phone daily and he never calls her once? Yeah, he knew she was dead.

It is pretty interesting that this was granted before the podcast even started.

My husband thinks he's guilty. He says that it's because he didn't call her once after she disappeared. And they talk about how they remained semi-friends after they broke up. He also thinks he doesn't sound upset enough in the phone interviews.

Yeah, this really stood out to me as I said above. I think the times are all wrong because Jay is trying to make it look like he had as little as possible to do with it but nothing has really led me to believe "oh, maybe this guy didn't do it" and I'm a pretty granola-chewing, Innocence Project hyper-liberal when it comes to these things.

just started this yesterday and love it
but am on episode 1 so I'm ignoring this thread until I get through…

I'm all like where is the new episode and then realized it's only Wednesday…

I have a feeling this is going to be like Lost for me, where I got into the show late and binge-watched the first 2 seasons and then was totally frustrated when I had to start waiting a week between episodes.

Have they said how many episodes season 1 will be?
