Sarah Koenig’s Serial podcast

Transom.org: Sarah Koenig’s Manifesto.

“In her long-awaited Transom Manifesto, Sarah Koenig breaks down just how tricky it can be to tell a story in sound. By deconstructing the Leakin Park episode, by explaining all the things her team was unable to get to create the story, she reveals exactly how they did create it.

Sometimes they’re just obstacles.”
