S01 - Ep. 1: The Alibi

Serial - Serial S01 - Ep. 2: The Breakup

Their relationship began like a storybook high-school romance: a prom date, love notes, sneaking off to be alone. But unlike other kids at school, they had to keep their dating secret, because their parents disapproved. Both of them, but especially Adnan, were under special pressure at home, and the stress of that spilled over into their relationship. Eventually Hae broke up with Adnan. And then, depending on who you ask, Adnan was either understandably sad and moping around, or full of rage and plotting to kill her.

Serial S01 - Ep. 2: The Breakup

Why don't you go ahead and tell us what you know about the death of Hayley?

She was concerned because she was being asked questions about an affidavit she'd written.

Even now, it would be nice if there was some technicality, something that was proven to be an essence.

But I think, I think Asia like you might be that technicality.

From this American life and WBEZ Chicago, it's serial.

Serial returns with a history of Guantánamo told by people who lived through key moments in Guantánamo’s evolution, who know things the rest of us don’t about what it’s like to be caught inside an improvised justice system.
