Is Palahniuk still publishing? I think the last release I bought from him was Lullaby.

Also: he's basically your neighbor. He lives on the East side of Vancouver on a farm somewhere. Though, to be honest, its probably Camas but the person writing the article just put Vancouver because its the bigger city.

The main question for me is a lack of timeline for Hae's car. From leaving the school to being discovered weeks later, surely there were traffic cameras or sightings at some point. DNA testing of her fingernails etc will be key too.

Ultimately, I'm not sure where I fall on this. Adnan could be guilty. Jay may be guilty and could have framed Adnan (although why? there's no motive unless he's a cold killer). All the points that convicted Adnan came from Jay's testimony. And the three points of bad luck surmised by Serial could have been planned or at least preyed upon.

1. That he lent Jay his car and phone that day. In high school you lend shit out all the time without thinking about it.
2. That he asked Hae for a lift and Jay's subsequent comment. The first is innocent until there was a crime.
3. The phone call to Nisha. Butt call seems unlikely although possible. If you planned to frame someone for murder then making a call to firm your story seems easy. Make a call and stay quiet. Done.

All 3 pieces of bad luck could be calculated from Jay.

Fuck, I don't know. I'm going to search this thread for any other posts from you guys.

She and two lawyers host the show and it goes DEEEEEEEEP. The production quality isn't always great but the revelations are unreal. It'll change the way you think about the case and it goes way further than Serial had time for. The shit that these guys find is bonkers.

It's obviously more biased than Serial because of Rabia's involvement. But it's a great listen.

I'll check that out. Cheers Joey. I might give it a week or so before I hit it. Is Season 2 of Serial good?

I see that Google put one together but when I open it I notice that it's pretty barebones. The app I am currently using gives you the ability to make a playlist of shows that updates as new episodes are released so all I have to do is a manual refresh and it takes care of the rest. Is there anything like that on Android?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
