Anyone listening to the second series of "Startup"?  While I generally enjoy the podcast, it at times sounds like a season of Girls where they are doing a startup web dating service…

so this could have gone in the "comix, video games and other nerd fare" thread, but i thought it most relevant here: this game looks pretty cool and reminds me of Serial, even though i've haven't listened to the series yet.

Finally, someone made an amazing police procedural game
Her Story is an interactive interrogation

That is as "nerdy" as an episode of Law and Order: SVU.

Seriously the Mystery Show podcast is awesome… The latest episode about a Welcome Back Kotter lunchbox is a great hour of infotainment…

Grantland did an article about this game last week (incidentally dubbing it "Serial: the video game") and while I'm not a gamer, it looks like a really cool concept.

He was on the Welcome Back Kotter! episode of the Mystery Show podcast.  I forget in what capacity.

Cool, I am a big fan (I even took a picture with him once).  I listen to Colt's podcast every week.  I might check this show out, I need more podcasts.

So with the return of Serial will I be inundated with Adele level click bait?  Will season two spawned a cottage industry of analysis podcasts… And most importantly has episode one caused Reddit to lose it mind?

Bowe Bergdahl has been done, afaik.  It'll be interesting to see if she can further the story.

Kosmo and I were discussing this on facebook a little but if Serial season 3 is (completely hypothetically) about the Gamergate controversy, reddit would literally burst into flames. The servers would just start shooting sparks out of nowhere. Neckbeards would lynch Sarah Koenig on a live podcast and yell "THIS IS NOT SEXIST, IT'S ABOUT INTEGRITY IN VIDEO GAME JOURNALISM" as they crucify her in midtown Manhattan.

Technically the state can appeal that again.
