''Serial'' is a podcast exploring a nonfiction story over multiple episodes. First released in October 2014, it is a spinoff of the radio program ''This American Life''. Episodes vary in length and are available weekly. It ranked number one on iTunes even before its début and remained there for several weeks. ''Serial'' won a Peabody Award, the first of its kind, in April 2015. Sarah Koenig hosts the series, which was co-created and is co-produced by Koenig and Julie Snyder, both producers of ''This American Life''. ''Serial'' has been confirmed for two more seasons. Season two of ''Serial'' will be released in the fall of 2015 and season three will be released in the spring of 2016. ==Overview== Koenig has said that ''Serial'' is "about the basics: love and death and justice and truth. All these big, big things." She also has noted, "this is not an original idea. Maybe in podcast form it is, and trying to do it as a documentary story is really, really hard. But trying to do it as a serial, this is as old as Dickens."〔 Episodes are released weekly on Thursdays. ''Serial'' was named a 2015 winner of a Peabody Award as radio/podcast, cited as "an audio game-changer." Dr. Jeffrey P. Jones, Director of the Peabody Awards, commented the podcast showed "how new avenues and approaches to storytelling can have a major impact on how we understand truth, reality, and events".〔 ''New York Magazine'' reported that Phil Lord and Chris Miller, producers of ''The Lego Movie'' and the film ''21 Jump Street'', will be producing a television program about the podcast that will take a "behind-the-scenes approach that details how Koenig went from virtual anonymity to creating one of 2014's biggest cultural phenomenons". Internet radio streaming service, Pandora, will stream the second season of ''Serial.'' The first season is available beginning November 24, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Serial (podcast)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
