What is serial podcast?

‘Serial’ is an investigative journalism podcast that follows true crime stories in every season. It is a spin-off of a popular radio program, ‘This American Life’.

Receiving critical success, it became a cultural phenomenon and continues to be the record-holder of the most downloaded podcasts, the fastest one at that.

The third season of ‘Serial’ focuses on the justice system of America. While the previous seasons focus on one remarkable case at a time, each episode of the third follows a different story.

In one case, we meet a woman who faces trial even after being harassed herself; another focuses on the bias of the judges and how it adversely affects cases. One of the episodes explores the complicated image of police officers in a community, while in one story we follow a minor and his experiences in the juvenile detention centre and the county jail.
