Get to the nearest Best Buy and call your friend – Serial has been renewed for a second season, thanks to the donations of listeners like you (but not me, cause I’m broke). The incredibly addictive podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig and presented by NPR mainstay This American Life, has been the focus of interviews, thinkpieces, backlash, and appreciation, ever since it premiered. Consider me officially excited for this news; I haven’t been this captivated by a podcast since How Did This Get Made?
I hope season two answers the most pressing question of season one: WHY CAN’T THAT WOMAN PRONOUNCE “MAIL CHIMP”??
