Listened to episode one and I'm sold. I love the resurgence of podcasts over the last few months. If the quality of podcasts continue to improve to the standards of Serial, we might be looking at a world where a service like Netflix but for podcasts could exist and thrive.
I feel the same! And the great thing about podcasts: you can listen to them while driving :)
"like Netflix but for podcasts" Does Stitcher fit that bill? I'm not the biggest fan of it but it is sort of recommendations-driven.
To some extent. I think the difference is in (1) quality curation and (2) the business model. Netflix syndicates shows from the past but is now in the content creation business. I think Serial has shown that these things can be produced to a high level and attract the masses.. Like said, perfect for something to keep us entertained on the road...
Very cool, my girlfriend loves this podcast (also started listening to it after finishing Serial)

Criminal is a podcast about crime. Not so much the “if it bleeds, it leads,” kind of crime but something a little more complex. Everyone that has been listening to Serial should give this a try. Criminal has a 4,5 star rating in iTunes.
I haven't even watched Serial yet! I wonder what the fuss is all about... because when I asked the same question about Game of Thrones, I was pleasantly surprised. Conclusion? It's time to give it a try. P.S. I might even start with Criminal, it looks delicious.

Serial is a podcast. Not much to see there. It's a very engaging and compelling story. 🙈 Not sure if I like how Serial ended though.
Now you made me really curious. No spoilers!
I was looking to something to fill the hole after Serial ended. TNX
I'm a big fan of true crime (I probably watched five hours of Lockup and a few more of Forensic Files this weekend) so I'm really looking forward to this podcast. I've had a tough time getting into podcasts, but Serial definitely changed that for me.
I use Criminal.
