I listened to the first Achtung Baby episode of UTU2TM today and I was sad when they were shit-talking The Hands That Build America. It's one of my favourite U2 songs.

Okay buddy. Get back to me when you can name the members of U2 and the instruments they play.
Serial does a good job of making me change m opinion a lot, one second I am sure someone did it and then a few minutes I reconsider because of some new information.
i'm very engaged, but i'm also pretty surprised people find this so ambiguous. i'm extremely troubled so far by how lacking the evidence against adnan has been; doubly so given that he was basically convicted on the testimony of a supposed unindicted accomplice. i think asia probably was the 'smoking gun' and am pretty distressed that sarah's tactics in contacting her seemingly directly caused her to recant. i don't necessarily think jay is responsible for the death, but i struggle to see how anything bolsters the case for adnan having done it either.
i also really don't think sarah takes enough responsibility for asia recanting her affidavit and contacting the prosecutors given that the story that is presented shows that she is clearly the primary cause for that decision.
Asia said she was spooked when the private investigator came to her house. I don't know if that's why she didn't testify at the hearing or why she made the call to the prosecutor. But she told me that when she got the knock at the door, quote, "that was not cool." Because to her, if Adnan did do it, quote, "the last thing you want is a murderer being pissed off at you, knowing where you live."
that PI was established as sarah's PI

Counter-quoting from Serial
It wasn't Sarah's PI. It was a lawyer's PI.
Episode 1 around 32 minutes in
"Adan's family hired a new attorney, who filed a petition in court based on the Asia affidavit. His argument was that Adnan's trial could have turned out differently if Guttierez had checked out Asia's story. ... The new lawyer figures he'll get Asia to come to the hearing, she'll vouch for her story. By this time, Asia had finished school and moved away. He finds an address on the west coast, tries calling, sending messages. Nothing. Finally, he writes a letter to her, gives it to a private investigator, who goes out to Asia's house in hopes of delivering it."
Sarah's first contact with Asia was the email follow-up to the pleading letter she never got.
fair enough, i may have misunderstood. i still feel like this element is really glossed over given how important its contents might be.

spoilers from episode 1 still
It's a misleading section. The way Sarah speaks about it kind of comes off as
1. she finds the information
2. informs family
3. gets lawyer + PI
4. harasses Asia
5. Asia recants
In that order. But in fact, Sarah's first attempt at contact with Asia is the letter that never ends up delivered, and so Asia responds to Sarah's follow-up email with a phone call. By the time Sarah has contacted Asia, it's multiple weeks after Adnan's final petition, hence his lack of enthusiasm about Sarah and Asia's contact. It was probably Rabiya that came across the information the first time?

relistening to episode 4,
the phone records seem to call both Jay's AND Adnan's stories into question
like the fact that Adnan's phone pinged the Leakin Park cell tower right around the time Jay claimed they were burying the body
as far as Adnan remembers, his phone was with him at that time
so either he's lying about going to the mosque to pray and was actually at Leakin Park, or Jay lifted his phone without him realizing it and put it back, again without him realizing it
which, considering how easily Jay capitulates to the detectives in the interviews, and how frequently he changes his story, I'm loathe to believe that he's clever enough to have pulled that off
I'm inclined to think at this point that Adnan's innocent, but at the same time there are pieces of evidence that suggest that he's not being completely honest either.
i will fully cop to being pro-defendant to a huge extent, but i still fail to see yet how the combo of jay's testimony and cell records are enough to put a man in prison for murder

Oh yeah no yes
If we are talking trial wise, the case against him feels incredibly weak
There's absolutely reasonable doubt that he didn't commit the crime
More than anything else it seems to me like his attorney failed him

The US justice system is fucked up. You can shoot a handcuffed man in the back on camera and walk, so Adnan's conviction isn't surprising.

Jay did exactly what a liar would do. He established Hei's death to Jen before it takes place. He's got intimate knowledge of the shovels used, he needs to destroy his clothes, the inconsistencies in his story's timeline. COME ON

Good bit.
Steam
For that matter, none of the Avengers had anything to do with the Infinity Gauntlet event outside of an ultimately inconsequential one issue.
Makes me wonder how they are going to play the MCU version.
Great bit

I have an hour flight and an hour and a half train ride today to get to a conference I'm attending
so I guess I have found my listening material for the journey
That reminds me of our only campaign using the Eberron setting.
