RP1 is an awesome read.
Spielberg is adapting this into a movie. Should be out in 2018.
@Sp!inty or any other military types have heard season twos story before, would like to hear their thoughts.
Awesome news. If you haven't read the book and greq up in the 80s you'd like it.
No haven't heard of it; this is a novel or nonfiction?Good podcast I finished in my travels here.
SEASON ONE: EPISODE 01
THE ALIBI
It's Baltimore, 1999. Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, disappears after school one day. Six weeks later detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. He says he's innocent - though he can't exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon. But someone can. A classmate at Woodlawn High School says she knows where Adnan was. The trouble is, she’s nowhere to be found.
Season One
I was gonna make a thread on this but never got around to it. I'm curious if @Alienator
ABOUT SEASON TWO
In May 2014, a U.S. Special Operations team in a Black Hawk helicopter landed in the hills of Afghanistan. Waiting for them were more than a dozen Taliban fighters and a tall American, who looked pale and out of sorts: Bowe Bergdahl. Bergdahl, a U.S. soldier, had been a prisoner of the Taliban for nearly five years, and now he was going home.
President Obama announced Bergdahl’s return in the Rose Garden, with the soldier's parents at his side. Bergdahl's hometown of Hailey, Idaho, planned a big celebration to welcome him back. But then, within days—within hours of his rescue, in fact—public reaction to his return flipped. People started saying Bergdahl shouldn’t be celebrated. Some of the soldiers from his unit called him a deserter, a traitor. They said he had deliberately walked off their small outpost in eastern Afghanistan and into hostile territory.
Hailey canceled its celebration. The army launched an investigation. Finally, in March, the military charged Bergdahl with two crimes, one of which carries the possibility of a life sentence. Through all of this, Bergdahl has been quiet. He hasn’t spoken to the press or done any interviews on TV. He’s been like a ghost at the center of a raucous fight.
Now, in Season Two, we get to hear what he has to say.
Serial: Season Two
I kinda liked Serial season 1. The host is too naive to be doing investigative work like that imo. Annoyed the hell out of me. I listened to 2 episodes of the 2nd season and stopped. Didn't find the case as compelling as Adnan's. Think there's been a thread or 2 on it on tmmac.
True story man. Those podcasts play over 10-12 episode each about 45 -60 minutes long. Season two is the military story, I'm on the 4th episode and find it very interesting but have no idea as to how people he'd work with would view his actions.
@Priziesthorse you think Adnon did it?Interesting. Thanks for the heads up homie. I'll have to look into it.
Iirc one night he just hopped the fence and left his crew dury duty. His idea was to get some attention to then get an audience so he could do some sort of whistle blowing on the alleged incompetence of his higher ups. Ended up getting caught and held hostage and tortured for 5 years while all his mates spent that time hunting him, some died and it cost all sorts of money of course.
Wow. That's fucked.
Lots and lots of fire.I didn't mind her until I looked her up to get a visual.
Changed everything....
There was an acronym he used, kind of like AWOL but different. It's an alert that army, Navy and air all gets or something when I guy goes missing, that's what he expected to cause then be found a few days later and plead his reasoning after. Well he got turned around out there pretty quick, then gets caught and all sorts of crazy shit.
I'd bet my testicles that he killed her.
His buddy Jay got off way too easy.
