Many say this is the podcast that started it all. In fact, a survey of Serial newsletter subscribers revealed that for almost a quarter, Serial was the first podcast they'd ever listened to! Furthermore, with the conviction of Adnan Syed recently overturned as a result of Sarah and her team's work in Season 1, Serial has cemented its place in podcasting history. However, as odd as it sounds, can too much success lead to your downfall? This week Mike and Eric discuss these things and more in our review of Serial.
A podcast from the creators of This American Life, Serial is hosted by Sarah Koenig and tells a single true story over the course of a season. Typically grouped within the true-crime genre, Season 1 investigated the 1999 killing of a Baltimore teenager, Season 2 examined the story of an American Army soldier held for 5 years by the Taliban and Season 3 was an analysis of the American criminal justice system reflected over a year at the Justice Center Complex in Cleveland, Ohio.
On No Harm In Asking, hosts Eric Byron and Michael Kerr are on a journey to gather insights into why podcasts succeed or fail and to explore the myriad of different patterns, structures, topics, techniques, and personalities that have evolved this industry. Through our podcast, we hope to inspire and encourage the next generation of storytellers and visionaries.
Mike and Eric listened to Season 3 of Serial. All 3 seasons can be found on their excellent website here:

Many people want to develop something that takes them down a different path than the usual nine-to-five routine.

But settling on a podcast topic, and one that could be developed into a monetizable business, is always the first obstacle. Is the solution perhaps to share with the world the most challenging, the most sensitive and the most intimate details of your relationship? In this episode, Mike and Eric discuss the pros and cons of this podcast choice and where this could lead.
