Breakfast Serial

BREAKFAST SERIAL: SPECIAL EDITION Today's episode will not be a discussion of the ongoing exploration into Beau's story from Sarah Koenig, but will shift gears to another case that has gained worldwide attention since its coverage in a documentary from Netflix, by Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi. Making a Murderer has seen daily headlines over the last month or so for its take on the case of Steven Avery. We've watched through the 10 episode docuseries and have invited some friends in for an open discussion on the topic of this docuseries. Joining us are Bailey Butzburger, Ashley Foerster, and Vidur Moudgil. I'm also going to say "docuseries" a number of times, and type it a number of times here because I like that word. Docuseries. We'll be back next week with our take on the latest episode of the Serial podcast, and in the meantime, we are going to start another series from about a year ago called Jinx that aired on the HomeBox. #allmurder #allthetime Oh, and by the way Apple, I'm sorry for Bailey's foul language.... Docuseries

Returning to our discussions of Serial Season 2, we look at Sarah's zoomed in view of Beau's life when he first arrives in Afghanistan, and how the conditions and situations there are working into his decision to leave his post. We begin with a frank discussion of cereal choices, Chia Pets, and end on such high notes as murder plots in Disney movie favorites. Quite the insane spectrum for today's discussion, no? Also, a thousand apologies to Hajar for the constant ignorance regarding the pronunciation of her last name. It will be corrected in the intro to next week’s podcast... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHONDA JACKSON!!!

Welcome Back, Hajar's Hair!!!! We return to the core crew this week for our discussion of the latest episode of Serial. Who is a super spy? Who is a double agent? What is INTERPOL? A fantastic rock band, or something more sinister? Why is the paper yellow? Who is the real sausage king of the US? Some of this and more may or may not be discussed during this week's thrilling episode!

Oh wow wow wow! The first episode of the year starts off with a HUUUUGGGEEEE surprise and delivers an exciting grand entrance from quite possibly the greatest Colombian since Sofia whatshername. Also, no actual cereal was harmed during the making of this episode.

For our third episode (and final episode of 2015), Katia returns from vacation with new references regarding her most beloved author, Ayn Rand, and Hajar gets all squee when Homeland is brought up. Manuel displays a particular interest in a certain medical procedure and Matt continues to confirm that he is just a really terrible person. Also, the bit about Ayn Rand being Katia's favorite author may or may not be true, but what we do know is she loves, loves, LOVES zippers. #YKK #HappyNewDay
