For the record, I was trail running near there, and my friend needed a last minute Christmas present.

Did anyone attempt to strangle you? Was there a pay phone in the lobby? How long did it take you to get there? Details, K8teebug, details!

I went to the Best Buy yesterday. Everyone there was buying burner phones. I kid you not.
Wait, were there payphones outside or in the vestibule?

What do people use for podcasts on Android?  I tried a couple and they annoyed me right off the bat.

I use BeyondPod after using Pocket Casts for a long time.

I think the biggest loose end I'm upset about is we never get any closure on the issue of why that one girl cannot pronounce Chimp correctly.
I cringe every time I hear that?but I'm sure the people in the marketing dept were like "GENIOUS, everyone will hate it so much they will never forget it"

I get so frustrated that I actually finish the damn sentence for her.

Anybody listening to Start Up?  It feels like the next logical follow on to Serial...

Just wanted to check with Jules if this is proper usage of META?

When I meet radio producer Alex Blumberg, he is wearing the tennis shoes that his wife made him change out of for a meeting with a business investor in episode one of Startup. That?s Blumberg?s new podcast about how he is starting his own podcast business (he is aware that it?s meta).

It is a correct usage. Near textbook usage of META, in fact.

Most believable thing I've read yet.

As a lawyer, it was difficult to listen to the podcast at times, especially the way it was being edited.  There's a huge difference between actual guilt and legal guilt and that probably should have been explained more.  Either way, all of my theories went out the door when Jay led the cops to her car.

At that point, it was motive of Jay vs motive of Adnan, and frankly, since Adnan had absolutely no alibi, it was hard to fathom it being anyone else.

Do I think the prosecution had enough to go beyond a reasonable doubt?  Not with the way this information was presented no, and I could raise serious questions about his attorney's defense, but I wouldn't go that far unless I had read the entire trial proceedings, which, frankly, I'm not going to do.  But I definitely think Ms. Gutierrez could have done a better job.

Do I think Adnan killed Hae? Yes, but the job is on the prosecution to put together more evidence than they did (or more than we were presented).

Deidre's well off the mark on this one.  She has absolutely nothing to tie Ronald Moore and Jay together.  Until then, she needs to look at the real picture and ignore the big picture, which for her is anybody but Adnan.

My favorite part of the podcast was when Adnan got upset about Sarah saying he was such a nice guy that it makes it difficult to believe he could do it.  The whole premise of her show was that an attorney contacted her because this really nice kid was convicted of a crime that they just couldn't be he was capable of doing.  That doesn't mean shit and he had the exact right response - that doesn't help me one bit, so let's a find a way where I didn't do this with FACT that I can take to the courts.  That didn't happen - not even close.

Well, that and where Christina found out Jay's attorney was arranged by the prosecutor and Sarah says "if you or you're loved one is an attorney their mouth is wide open right now" and sure enough, when my fiancee looked over, my mouth was wide open.  That was pretty funny.

I like that Smacks agrees with me that anyone who thinks Adnan legitimately didn't do it is experiencing a severe case of the Emperor's new clothes.

There's a weird, bizarre theory on the internet -- shocking, I know! -- that he was a CI (plausible) and the cops didn't want to burn him as a source so they concealed his involvement in the murder to keep him informing (insane).
