Hey there, serial listeners, it's Sarah Canig.

I want to tell you about our newest show

from the team here at serial productions.

It's called the Improvement Association.

Zoe Chase is the reporter.

You might know Zoe's voice from this American life.

She's the one telling political stories

that are so entertaining you forget their political stories,

which I guess tells you what I think

of most political stories.

But Zoe's stories, always a lot of fighting,

a lot of strong specific personalities, they're fun.

And this one's no different.

It deals with election fraud, or really accusations

of election fraud.

The whole story takes place in this rural county

in North Carolina, Bladen County.

And not to get grandiose, but for me,

watching what unfolded there over the past 10 years,

was like a portal to understanding

our current situation as a country.

You can listen to all five episodes
