Do you think Adnad is a socio-path?
Who are you talking about when you reference the "community?"

Sociopath is a broad term, and I'm not a doctor nor am I qualified to make such a statement. The community he's surrounded by is pretty obvious if you listen to the series.
Well, you're definitely making a statement in saying you think he's guilty, especially after the way he comes off to Ms. Koenig. He does NOT "sound" like a guilty man to me and if he is, he as himself convinced that so utterly that I would think there would be room for some sort of mental condition.
I listened to the podcast originally as it aired so some of it I have forgotten that's why I am asking you to be more specific in the community you were referencing.
He was part of a Pakistani Muslim community in a Baltimore suburb.
Ok, thanks, GF. That's who I thought he was referencing.
Anyway, I never got that feeling that "the community" felt some collective shame over what happened.

There were people from that community that specifically said they were afraid to say anything negative about Adnad because of the backlash that would happen.
Can't believe we'll have to wait another year for the next series... another station should replicate this and make it a weekly thing. You'd probably only need 3-4 cases in a given calendar year.
This American Life and Serial might seem easy to replicate but the people behind those shows are masters of narrative storytelling. There are many podcasts SERIAL-ish. And many public radio shows clearly trying to be TAL. They aren't. They simply aren't on that level.
Wasn't aware of any other serial-ish podcasts, may be I should try them out to get my fix.
I think on reddit there is a list of Serial alternatives.
Alright I'll check them out.
