A Response to Serial Podcast

Serial Podcast: Serial is an investigative journalism podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig, narrating a nonfiction story over multiple episodes. This podcast was such a great experience for me! I have never done anything like that in my other English courses throughout high school. I recently listened to a podcast called Serial. It was a great experience for me and I really enjoyed the podcast. On that day I was driving to Toronto with my dad and we both listened to it and had a discussion.

I also don’t think that the victim’s family would like the story of their daughter on the Internet. They would also have to follow up with the news and see if the person who killed their daughter is out of prison and on the street finishing his normal life.
