Serial moves to a biweekly episode schedule
Bad news, Serial listeners (and The Serial Serial listeners)—the wait between episodes just became a little more excruciating. According to The New York Times, the podcast is moving to a biweekly schedule to give Serial staff time for “additional reporting” following an “unexpected development” in this season’s story, that of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was captured in 2009 by a Taliban-aligned group (after leaving his post) and released in 2014 as part of a prisoner exchange brokered by the White House.
