Radio Craze

If you’re not listening to the hit podcast Serial, chances are you know someone who is and won’t shut up about it. If you’re a friend of mine, I’m probably the fanatic in your life who monologues about what exactly happened in Woodlawn, Maryland — the sleepy suburb of Baltimore. It’s likely you’ve asked me to please stop telling you whether or not I think Adnan killed his high school girlfriend 15 years ago. Or if — as it’s occasionally implied in the show — his friend Jay set him up. Whether speculating on the guilt of these people is fair (one was acquitted and the other sent to prison for life) is a question I’ve recently begun to wrestle with, but that doesn’t squelch my addiction. I need to know where the series will go. And I need to find more people as obsessed with Serial as I am. Which is why I’ll be on the rooftop of Sundown at the Granada (3520 Greenville Ave.) for the free Serial Listening Party at 7 p.m. Thursday. They’ll switch on the heaters, and serve up some warm drinks. More information at granadatheater.com.
