"Serial" a podcast created by the same producers of This American Life from NPR. The creators follow a real-life crime and interview all the individuals involved in the case. This podcast is the talk of the town receiving astounding praise. 

I have never been the one to get into podcasts. They may seem like they are the new thing, but the only person I knew that was into them was my dad. I never thought they were for me. This break I wanted to start a book, but then a friend recommended I check out the podcast "Serial". I was still hesitant but I had watched enough Netflix for a year, so I decided to give it a try. After listening to the first episode I was hooked.  

For those of you who were like me and did not quite understand what a podcast really is, let me explain. It’s not a book and it’s not a visual show. The reporter is so specific in her descriptions and evidence that you can visualize what is going on. The speaker is leading you through this crime as she is investigating it. She includes her research and interviews of prisoners to police. She takes you to different scenes where the crime was committed with an enormous amount of details.  

If you like crime shows or murder mysteries this is for you. Listen to it with friends and family and try to solve the crime yourselves. It is a nice change of pace. You can subscribe to the podcast for free on iTunes and remember to listen in order!
