obviously - what all that fussin around about nothing was in episode 1. And it was only a day or so before he found out about the non-murder. Now its heading into, battle over his estate and this city clerk beyatch. Really interesting to hear that John B actually was some sort of genius.

The culture is interesting, though not completely foreign to me. My old hometown and surrounding area has some elements of it-without as much drawl. the racism is there, but not as prevailing because there simply aren't as many people to be racist towards. They get mostly racist at people on TV or St. Louis or Chicago. I know a few people that could fit right in with the characters (i.e. Tyler and Jake).

Real good analysis of the f [expletive] it attitude.
Won't spoil anything with this, promise.

But that [expletive] it attitude reminds me of the election, right? I mean a manhattan millionaire connected with these people because "[expletive] it" and of course some racism sprinkled in

And I grew up in an all white town in Arkansas of 2,000 people. Well not all white. Hispanics work in the chicken houses. I can relate with this story completely

the [expletive] it attitude -
on the show Brian was amazed that the Burt kid would quickly agree to talk to stranger with a microphone about a murder he supposedly committed.

that reminded me of the southern MO wife and stepson that offed her husband (purportedly) -the KKK wizard recently in southern MO - in their case they most likely did it too. There they are on the news just talking to the cameras. You also see that when someone dies tragically, in a murder or housefire etc in a poor neighborhood- the news will stick a microphone in front of a relative or neighbor and they talk away. [expletive] it attitude. like it doesn't matter/nothing you can do.

Prosecutors on Wednesday said they weren’t asserting that Syed is innocent, but they lacked confidence “in the integrity of the conviction” and recommended he be released on his own recognizance or bail.

“We believe that keeping Mr. Syed detained as we continue to investigate the case with everything that we know now, when we do not have confidence in results of the first trial, would be unjust,” Mosby added.

I'm really interested in the details of the 'lost confidence.' Will we be familiar with them as podcast listeners? Are they new?

Also, several years later, it is insane how many true crime podcasts/youtube channels/streaming docs there are.
