A Summary Of Sarah Koenig's Podcast

Firstly, the Nisha call placed Adnan with Jay after the murder. This call could have been a butt-dial that rang for 2 minutes. The call could have been from Adnan, who wanted to make Jay talk with Nisha. The Nisha call does not prove Adnan killed Hae, as it simply just puts him with Jay at the time. Also, the prosecution stated that Adnan was constantly doing bad things. Everyone does bad things, but it does not make them murderers. Finally, Jay knew the location of Hae’s car. The fact that Jay knew the location of Hae’s car should arouse suspicion on him. The evidence utilized by the prosecution is circumstantial and can be disproved, and the lack of strong evidence proves Adnan’s

Physical evidence was extremely lacking, and all DNA tests conducted were clear of Syed’s DNA. Therefore, it is more than likely that Syed is innocent. The evidence, or lack thereof, presented in the case of Adnan Syed v. State of Maryland proves that Adnan Syed is not guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee.

A lot of people wonder if Adnan Syed is guilty or innocent, today as a legal assistant I'm going to tell you one important reason why he is innocent. Adnan is not guilty because there is another potential suspect like Jay. Jay's story that "proves" Adnan's guilt, has changed every interview and testimony. Jay had intimate knowledge of the crime he knew things, like if he knew every single thing that Adnan was thinking about which makes everything looked suspicious. Also Jay's stories don't quite match Adnan's cell records.

However, Adnan Syed did not kill Hae Min Lee. Tons of evidence supports the fact that Adnan is truly innocent. He loved Hae, they loved each other. He had no motivation to kill her, he had other girls and he had other friends. Adnan was very lovable and no one would think to believe that

“She stood and looked him face to face and told him that she didn’t love him and that he was heartless. After that Adnan told me “ I think I am going to kill her, yeah, I’m going to kill her. ”(Season 1, Episode 2, Page 36). This proves that he is guilty because he had spoken to Jay about killing Hae days before the murder. This proves that he very much had the intent to kill Hae Min Lee, also classifying it as a premeditated murder.

In Serial episode one by journalist Sarah Koenig, neglects to use more of the valuable information contained in Asia McLean’s letters because she was biased about what would help her narrative, but these letters foreshadowed what would happen later on. The letters written by Asia McLean could’ve been taken more seriously by both the state and Koenig. Although she understands the letters importance and tries to get in contact with Asia, she still leaves out many of the valuable things that Asia was saying in the letters. Asia states, “I’m trying to reach your lawyer to schedule a possible meeting with the three of us.”

In the podcast Serial, which focuses on a murder that occurred several years ago, inconsistencies and problems with memory hinder the search for truth. While Jay claims that Adnan killed his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, problems with memory cause discrepancies in the detectives’ findings. Within this, one may wonder how the study of memory and trauma-related amnesia affects the analysis of Adnan’s case in Serial. Could trauma-related amnesia have affected Adnan’s memory of the day that Hae was killed? Also, can different problems in memory be used to justify Jay’s varying testimonies as a key source, and if so, to what extent?

Seane Corn’s podcast was two-fold: educational and invigorating. Hearing her talk about her journey to happiness is a true testimonial to naysayers who are having doubts about the positive effects of yoga. Corn’s journey to happiness, as she conveyed, was not an easy one. She had to clamber her way from an unsettled place as a child growing up in unstable home. She explained how her blue-collar working class parents raised her in an environment where religious practices were not present and how, as a little girl, she thought of herself as “uneducated.” She abused drugs and the tender age of 19 was diagnosed with “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.” She even suffered from an anxiety disorder but these dark episodes of her life eventually led to healing and happiness once she discovered yoga.

Can journalist be truly objective while reporting about controversial events? Hae Min Lee, a Korean-American student at Woodlawn high school in Baltimore, disappeared on January 13th,1999. Four weeks after her disappearance, Hae was found buried in Leakin Park and appeared to have been strangled. Adnan Syed, Hae’s ex-boyfriend, was convicted a year later for first degree murder and given a life sentence. Since then, a podcast telling the story of this case, “Serial,” has drawn large amounts of attention to the situation, leaving people skeptical about the culpability of the ex-boyfriend.

An interview is composed of the interviewer and the respondent. The success of the interview session is dependent on the strategies applied by the interviewer as he or she has the power to influence the response. The level of participation is also one of the factors considered in an interview. In season one of the serial podcast show, the interviewer is Sarah Koenig while the interviewee includes some high school kids. Some of these kid includes; Krista, Aisha, Jenn, Cathy, Saad, Jay, and Adnan Syed.

Although I tend to shy away from murder mysteries, Serial presented a captivating case with striking components that will make anyone desperately root for the justice of Hae Min Lee. From the moment I began listening to this story, I found my thoughts racing to conclude my own person theory. Between contemplating if Adnan Syed is guilty or not, this podcast is impressively well created for its audience. As Serial takes you on the journey of those accused of Lee’s murder, I would definitely tune in again in hopes that justice comes

On This American life podcast website, the podcast, “Is This Working”, had Ira Glass, the interviewer, use many different stories and interviews from different walks of life to talk about minority discipline in the school versus white discipline in schools. This interview was a compelling story because it uses research and statistics from different states and races. This podcast informs people about how discrimination is still real in the schools but handled differently. Also the interviewers talk to, teachers, students and parents to show evidence.

In the On Being Podcast “ The Inner Landscape of Beauty, “ Krista Tippett and John O’Donohue discuss the concept of beauty by defining it as a human calling, as an aspect of God and finding our spiritual self. O'Donohue describes the idea of being inspired by music, poetry and also by the idea of Anam Cara, which means that we should express our feelings by thinking about those who are special in our lives, those who we love, care and support us in our struggle and our most happiest moments. O’Donohue also reflects about aspects of vocation, where he explains how our actions should be significant in

In October 2014, history was made. While podcasts at that stage were low-key, ‘Serial’ was an undeniable worldwide success.

The purpose of this paper is to give a personal reflection of the podcast featuring University of Maryland professors Daniel Chazan and Lawrence Clark.
