Serial Redux: Episode 1 - The Alibi. Re-listen & Discuss

...and in the beginning there was the podcast....

Serial started 5 months ago, with The Alibi. i thought it might be fun to re-listen to see whether there is anything new to be discovered or whether it can still hold your attention.

Think about how the story is told & its structure. What strikes you? Can you remember what hooked you the first time? Does it hold up? Any surprises the seconded (or xth) time round? Unanswered questions? What would you want more/less of?

Are you following the Ep 1 transcript while you listen?

Did you post in the original episode discussion? Do you stand by your rematprks? Or did anything since then change the way you think about the case?

This is thread solely about episode 1.

You can agree or disagree or pose a different point of view, but please stay polite and refrain from passing judgment on other people's opinions.

^Any ^comments ^focusing ^on ^criticisms ^of ^people ^in ^the ^podcast, ^its ^makers ^or ^other ^users, ^or ^remarks ^which ^are ^inflammatory ^or ^trolling ^will ^be ^removed ^& ^the ^users ^banished

Let's discuss...
