What accusations?Wow, if the accusations regarding Mike from Sword & Scale are true on that subreddit that's pretty damnin.
I'd feel bad listening in that case.
What accusations?[/QUOTEThere was some talk of Sword and Scale in this thread.
Apparently the host is a complete dick and wants the subreddit shut down. https://www.reddit.com/r/SwordScale/comments/3pl2kt/sword_and_scale_has_asked_me_to_close_this/
The topic of the second season of Serial, the popular podcast spinoff from This American Life, has yet to be officially announced, but now fans will know where they can hear new episodes once they arrive. Pandora announced Monday that it will stream the series after episodes debut on iTunes, podcast apps, and Serials website.
The premiere date hasnt been announced, but according to Pandora, season 1 will be available starting on Nov. 24.
For people already listening to Serial and This American Life, nothing will change, NPRs Ira Glass said in a statement. But we believe lots of people whod like our shows simply havent heard of them, or havent started listening to podcasts. Serial is the biggest podcast in the world, but only 17 percent of Americans listen to podcasts at all. Thats why its so exciting for us to work with Pandora. Pandora reaches millions of people who never listen to public radio or download podcasts. Thisll get our shows to them.
An interesting but sad story. I'm not totally convinced that he's guilty, but I'd lean that way. To me, the fact that Adnan never tried to contact Hae after the police told him that she was missing is a huge red flag. You would think that he would reach out to her with something like, "hey the police just contacted me, where are you?" Especially considering how close they had been. Maybe he didn't try to call because he already knew where she was. But that's just my own suspicious mind.
Even more than Serial, when is Invisibilia coming back?
Undisclosed is about defeating the case presented by the state, and it accomplishes this by miles. Why there's not already a retrial or he's released is disgusting.
I've always felt that at the very least-even if you think Adnan is guilty, you must admit the trial was a farce and the evidence presented since demands that a retrial must be had.
That's a massive red flag to me too, but her current boyfriend also didn't try to contact her after the police told him she was missing.

Strange, yeah, but the current boyfriend had an iron alibi for his whereabouts at the time of murder. Adnan stayed in contact with Hae, even giving her his new number the night before. Even though they were not a couple anymore. I'd be alarmed if the police contacted me, I'd have to call her at least once (especially as time moved on and no one heard from her).

IIRC they did confirm the boyfriend was at work all day on that date. Also, I don't believe there was any indication of conflict between the victim and the boyfriend.The alibi may have been real, but they didn't bother to verify it, which they easily could have done.

This case has been a great example of all that bullshit prosecutors get away with. Their assistance in finding an attorney for their star witness I thought was really out of bounds. But I'm not convinced there is enough misconduct to overturn the conviction.
Get outta here, Jay.You all have been drinking that Kool Aid, Adnan definitely did it. Even sympathetic Sarah couldn't bring herself to say that she thought he was innocent. Don't be distracted by all that hand waving with Don and timecards, there is no other credible suspect than Adnan.

Even more than Invisibilia, when is "The Mystery Show" coming back?
What is this Mystey Show of which you speak.

How could you not like the belt buckle one? Or the Jake Gyllenhal one? I'll give you the license plate and lunch box ones were weak but the rest were pretty solid.Mystery Show only has one good episode, the Britney Spears one. All the rest are alright to bland.
That's an interesting way to be wrong.Mystery Show only has one good episode, the Britney Spears one. All the rest are alright to bland.
The belt buckle episode is far and away the best episode. I didn't think it was even close.
I'm not sure I love that show. Starlee Kine can be a bit over the top quirky, but I must say I love hearing her just chat with real people who are total strangers. She's got an incredible knack for getting people to open up. (Not coincidentally, I thought the chat with the ticket agent was one of the highlights of the Britney episode)

Huh? Didn't she say in the last episode that despite not knowing whether he was innocent, he wasn't proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in her eyes based on the evidence.You all have been drinking that Kool Aid, Adnan definitely did it.

Of course it matters when the evidence isn't convincing.
Mystery Show is great, that Invisibilia one on the other hand...just no.
It's awful. So annoying.
My whole take on it is (and I know it's not popular) is that anyone that listens to the podcast cannot say they honestly feel that Adnand is telling the whole truth. Everyone I know that's listened to it says they agree he's hiding something. And sure he might not be guilty of the murder but why would he hide something that could get him out? That thing would have to be just as bad.
The whole thing is sorta unsettling. I have to agree there probably wasn't enough evidence and there was reasonable doubt. And while that makes him innocent in the eyes of the law, it's still obvious he's hiding something.
Matters to whom? Not to Syed, who needs more than reasonable doubt to reverse the life sentence. Not to the jury, who convicted him swiftly in a trial where, until recently, we didn't even have the transcripts, and where we still don't have video because the people who are shilling for Adnan won't release it.
Maybe it matters to you, that's fair, but even with all the slanted podcasts, many of the most involved fans, those who post on Reddit, still believe he did it, even if we don't have the full story, as Sarah said in the last episode. It would help if Adnan started telling us the truth.
Adnan Syed motion to reopen post conviction proceedings granted
Those cell records are gonna get shredded and there goes the state's case.
At the bare minimum, Jay should have faced jail time for assisting in burying a body.
In reality there really isn't enough evidence to convict Adnan beyond "who else could have done it?", which is about as weak of a case as you can possibly construct.
Dude, you need to tone it down a little.
VanMardigan, please post you're ok.
Jay DID face jail time, a judge just didn't sentence him to any. There WAS enough evidence to convict, dude's been in jail for 15 years.

Being convicted and there being enough evidence to be convicted are sadly not the same thing.
Disagreeing with the decision of the jury is all well and good, but you are confusing your opinion of the case with a subjective fact. He was convicted, so the jury felt there was enough to convict. The judge agreed. You don't, you've listened to a few podcasts, that's cool.
