Received the download notification this morning. Not sure how this is going to be. I caught on late and binged listened last year. Its going to be tough to wait each week.

It might not have the potential Season 1 did simply because Sarah isn't the one doing the interviewing. Since she has to use the filmmaker as a kind of go-between it dilutes the relationship between her and the suspect. One of the fascinating things about Season 1 was her weird, sometimes surprising relationship with Adnan.

Still, she's such a good narrator and so smart (the metaphor she used in "Dustwun" of the Zoom children's book was hellaciously good) it will be well worth following.

For you iOS users ("Chosen People"), the podcast app I have been continually pimping, Overcast, is now completely free - and more amazing than ever.

It's awesome.

The developer, Marco Arment, was Tumblr Employee #2 and is set for life

Now he spends his time developing very specific, perfect, apps. Originally, he sold it for $5 and I bought it right up. Now, he decided to release it for free for better PR and takes donations. It's a no-brainer.

btw, every podcast should be available on any player, they are just rss feeds like websites.

Stitcher is a skeevy company that started out just overlaying their own ads on other people's content that they scraped up from their feeds. (Now they are strong-arming them into deals). That's why only certain podcasts are available on it.

Don't think it's been discussed here, but for fans of the podcast, ole Adnan was granted a new trial at the end of June. The state of MD is appealing that ruling, but most assume it will stand. If it stands, the state can choose to re-prosecute or let him walk. Considering Jay and the cell tower data would get destroyed in court by a competent defense attorney, many people think Adnan is going to be a free man very soon.
