In the early days of the war on terror, the US captured thousands of alleged “enemy combatants” overseas, but they needed somewhere to hold and interrogate them… without worrying about those pesky Geneva Conventions. Guantánamo Bay was the perfect solution. But not long after it opened, the truth of its makeshift justice system started coming to light. The new season of Serial offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes at the island prison. Today, Leah sits down with co-hosts Sarah Koenig and Dana Chivvis to hear the story behind their reporting. Plus, you know the song "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell? Well, did you know it was actually an obscure soul song written in the 1960s? We'll hear that story from Lost Notes, plus Leah talks to co-hosts Novena Carmel and Michael Barnes about the show. All that and more this week on Podcast Playlist. Featuring: Serial, Lost Notes, Broomgate, White Devil For links and more info, head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.

Crime Writers On...True Crime Review

In 2014, Sarah Koenig and Dana Chivvis traveled to Guantánamo Bay hoping to find the untold stories about the infamous military prison. They found many friendly soldiers willing to repeat Army talking points, but no one willing to be candid about life at the detention center.A decade later, the pair reached out to those people, many who had left the military and were now willing to go on the record. Many remembered Gitmo as a plum wartime assignment in sunny Cuba, filled with strong drinks and sexy personnel. Others have slowly come to terms with what the mission was and the role they played in it. Koenig also spoke with former prisoners, some with little or no connection to the Taliban or Al Qaeda when they were detained. In season four of “Serial,” Koenig and Chivvis drift away from the podcast format it popularized ten years ago, telling a variety of stories week-to-week about Guantánamo Bay from the people who were there. Instead of a deep investigation into policies and procedures at Gitmo, the hosts seek personal, unexplored stories from more than 100 of those on the ground. The podcast promises an oral history of the military detention center long cloaked in mystery and infamy.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF SEASON 4 OF "SERIAL" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 10 MINUTES OF THE EPISODEIn Crime of the Week: distill my heart.

Pod Notícias 006 - Podcasts estão substituindo o consumo de mídias tradicionais

Rádiofobia Podcast Network

Olá, eu sou Leo Lopes e este é o POD NOTÍCIAS, a sua dose semanal de informação sobre o mercado de podcasts no Brasil e no mundo! Hoje é segunda-feira, dia 11 de março de 2024 e esta é a nossa sexta edição! 1 - A gente começa o episódio de hoje falando sobre como os podcasts estão substituindo o consumo das mídias tradicionais. Segundo o relatório mais recente da KS&R Report, o "Podcast Frenzy", todas as gerações têm ouvido mais podcast, e consumido menos das outras mídias - e esse crescimento é notado especialmente no público com idades entre 12 e 23 anos. Uma boa parte da Geração Z e dos Millennials ouve podcasts todos os dias, com muitos deles tendo reduzido o tempo gasto em outras atividades, como assistir TV, navegar nas redes sociais e jogar videogames. As preferências de conteúdo variam entre as gerações, com comédia sendo o tema mais popular entre os ouvintes mais jovens, enquanto a Geração X e os Baby Boomers preferem ouvir podcasts de notícias. Além disso, através do relatório, a KS&R pôde chegar a algumas conclusões sobre o que vem aí pela frente, e a empresa prevê que recursos interativos, como realidade aumentada e realidade virtual, são caminhos que vão tornar os podcasts ainda mais imersivos no futuro. O relatório completo está disponível no nosso LinkedIn do Pod Notícias. Link 2 - Ano passado a gente anunciou no antigo podcast do Castnews que o Google Podcasts ia ser descontinuado. Isso já não é nenhuma novidade, todo mundo já está sabendo, mas se você ainda usa a plataforma, o tempo pra migrar as suas assinaturas pra outros aplicativos está acabando. O Google Podcasts vai ser desativado oficialmente dia 2 de abril, daqui a menos de um mês, então esse é o momento de exportar o seu perfil de usuário pra não perder a sua biblioteca toda. A migração mais simples é pro YouTube Music, mas os usuários também podem exportar assinaturas através de um arquivo OPML, que pode ser importado por outros aplicativos de podcast. Quer saber como fazer isso? Então acessa a nossa página do LinkedIn do Pod Notícias, que a gente publicou um passo a passo tanto pra você migrar pro YouTube Music, quanto pra encontrar e baixar o arquivo OPML no Google Podcasts. É um processo simples, não tem segredo, e assim você evita de ter que assinar manualmente todos os seus programas preferidos de novo. Link AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 3 - De acordo com o relatório The Actively Established Podcast, atualizado todo mês, o número de podcasts ativos teve um aumento de mais de 3,3% em fevereiro de 2024. O maior crescimento de novos podcasts ativos foi nos programas de entrevista feitos de forma independente (e é claro que o vídeo foi um elemento presente na maioria desses novos programas). Os podcasts e videocasts de entrevista cresceram 5,6%, e agora são mais de 120.000 programas desse tipo no mercado. Link 4 - A última atualização da Apple lançou transcrições completas de texto para cada episódio publicado no Apple Podcasts. Agora o usuário pode ler o conteúdo enquanto ouve, ou pesquisar palavras e frases específicas em texto. A nova função é um bônus de acessibilidade, porque permite que pessoas com deficiência auditiva ou surdez acompanhem o conteúdo sem reproduzir o episódio, além de ter sido projetada com fonte e contraste de cores que facilitam a leitura. As transcrições estão disponíveis em dispositivos iPhone e iPad com iOS 17.4 e iPadOS 17.4, para podcasts em inglês, francês, espanhol e alemão. Caso a transcrição gerada não esteja do jeito que o criador de conteúdo quer, ainda é possível editar o texto ou fornecer as suas próprias transcrições. Link 5 - E algumas empresas líderes no mercado de podcasting, como iHeartMedia, Spotify, SiriusXM e Acast, estão otimistas quanto ao futuro da publicidade nos podcasts. A conclusão veio depois de um crescimento na receita dos seus negócios de podcast durante o quarto trimestre de 2023. Em suas reuniões de resultados, os executivos destacaram sinais de melhora no mercado, com mais demanda de anunciantes. A iHeartMedia registrou um aumento de 17% no quarto trimestre de 2023. O Spotify, por sua vez, está se aproximando da maior margem de lucro com podcasting até agora, enquanto a Acast espera bater sua meta ainda este ano. Embora aquela atualização do iOS 17 da Apple tenha impactado os negócios, já que parou de fazer o download automático dos episódios, as empresas estão confiantes em uma recuperação e preveem crescimento contínuo nos próximos meses. Link E MAIS: 6 - O Independent Podcast Awards está de volta em 2024 com novas categorias a serem anunciadas na premiação. O evento vai acontecer em Londres no dia 23 de outubro, e, segundo a organização, vai ser um sucesso ainda maior do que a primeira edição que rolou ano passado. O local onde a premiação vai acontecer é o auditório Kings Place. Ano passado, a premiação teve mais de 350 inscrições e premiou 22 programas, todos feitos por produtores de conteúdo independentes do Reino Unido e da Irlanda. Mais uma vez, apenas podcasters que moram nesses locais são elegíveis à participar da premiação, mas o podcast pode ter hosts de fora, desde que pelo menos metade da mesa seja do Reino Unido ou Irlanda. Link 7 - Os Price Brothers, desenvolvedores líderes em inteligência artificial, lançaram seu serviço de Publicidade Contextual para anúncios lidos por apresentadores de podcast. O programa utiliza direcionamento dinâmico e tecnologia de clonagem de voz para imitar a voz dos hosts de podcasts e aumentar a eficiência dos anúncios, já que também são criadas campanhas automáticas de marketing que façam sentido com o tema. É uma doideira. É claro que isso gerou interesse e debate na comunidade científica, já que esse assunto sempre levanta questões éticas sobre o controle e uso responsável das IA's de clonagem. Enquanto alguns entusiastas já estão comemorando o potencial da tecnologia, várias outras pessoas criticam o uso desenfreado de inteligência artificial, já que ainda não existe uma regulamentação clara que garanta à sociedade sua segurança e privacidade. O que resta pra nós é esperar pra ver no que vai dar. Porque uma coisa é o apresentador de podcast criar uma campanha com a própria voz, mas outra totalmente diferente é um robô clonar a voz de uma pessoa que não autorizou esse uso. Isso aí ainda vai dar pano pra manga. Link 8 - E nas dicas de produção dessa semana, a gente vai te ensinar a criar um nicho pro seu podcast. O guia foi feito pelo Daniel Lucas, e a gente traduziu ele na íntegra lá no nosso LinkedIn do Pod Notícias, mas é óbvio que a gente vai dar uma palhinha aqui também: Para criar o seu nicho na podosfera, primeiro você tem que descobrir uma área de interesse e um público em potencial. Depois, identificar tudo aquilo que você conhece e tudo aquilo que te desperta paixão, porque é com esse tipo de conteúdo que o ouvinte quer se conectar. Outro passo importante é encontrar lacunas em podcasts que já existem, onde você possa imprimir a sua própria versão do conteúdo. Por exemplo, existem milhares de podcasts de tecnologia por aí. Mas como é que seria o seu podcast de tecnologia? Como é que você imprime a sua identidade no projeto? Enfim, o objetivo é combinar a sua paixão com um pouco de estratégia, que é para construir a sua base sólida de ouvintes. É como eu sempre falo: se você fala de algo que você entende muito, você fala com propriedade. Se você fala de algo que você gosta muito, você fala com paixão. Quando você junta as duas coisas, a chance de dar certo é maior. Não deixa de conferir lá no nosso LinkedIn do Pod Notícias, vale muito a pena. Link HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 9 - A Branca Vianna, fundadora da Rádio Novelo e casada com o documentarista João Moreira Salles, decidiu explorar o passado do seu tataravô, o Visconde do Rio Preto, através de dois episódios do podcast ‘Rádio Novelo Apresenta'. Nos episódios 'Mexer no vespeiro' e 'O Visconde', a Branca convidou o público a conhecer questões complexas sobre a riqueza da sua própria família, que foi obtida à custa de trabalho escravo. Ela deu uma entrevista pro portal Reset sobre o tema, dizendo que o objetivo principal de ter abordado isso no podcast, foi pra estimular o debate sobre racismo, e também a responsabilidade entre a elite econômica, política e intelectual do país. O projeto foi um desafio, ela foi criticada por trazer à tona essas questões históricas, mas diz que não se arrepende porque a discussão sobre o racismo e o impacto da escravidão no Brasil ainda hoje é essencial. A entrevista completa da Branca Vianna está disponível no portal Reset, e você encontra o link na descrição desse episódio. Link 10 - E na semana passada a gente perguntou pros nossos ouvintes no Instagram, se eles preferiam ouvir anúncios no começo, no meio, ou no final dos podcasts que acompanham. Dessa vez a gente pode falar que as respostas não variaram quase nada: a maioria esmagadora prefere que os anúncios sejam feitos no começo do programa. Propagandas no meio já começam a incomodar, exceto aquelas que são muito bem colocadas e lidas pelos apresentadores (como no Mau Acompanhado, que várias pessoas usaram como exemplo), e no final do programa a maioria disse que nem ouve, porque pula o anúncio. Eu não tô surpreso, já que a maioria das pesquisas sobre publicidade em áudio apontam pra atenção do ouvinte ser maior no começo do programa do que no final, mas caso você esteja buscando patrocínio pro seu podcast, já fica a dica: anúncio é no começo. Agora, essa semana, a gente quer saber: Qual foi o último podcast que te surpreendeu ou prendeu a sua atenção? E por quê? Então participa da nossa enquete lá no nosso Instagram, em @pod.noticias e deixa a sua resposta ainda hoje, porque a Caixa de Perguntas só vai ficar no ar por 24 horas e a gente quer saber a sua opinião. Instagram do Pod Notícias SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11 - E nessa semana foram vários! O primeiro deles é o novo podcast do Instituto Natura: "Diálogos Sobre a Educação na América Latina". O programa é apresentado pelo David Saad, diretor-presidente do Instituto Natura, e o objetivo do conteúdo é explorar maneiras de impulsionar a educação no Brasil. O Diálogos Sobre a Educação não fala sobre aspectos pedagógicos, mas sim questões relacionadas à políticas educacionais de qualidade. Cada episódio da primeira temporada vai contar com um convidado especial pra desenvolver os temas. O podcast está disponível nas principais plataformas de áudio e tem novos episódios lançados quinzenalmente, às quintas-feiras. Link 12 - A Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da USP também lançou um novo podcast sobre a antiguidade grega e latina, o "Narrativas do Mármore". O episódio inaugural, "Textualidade e Materialidade", apresenta como convidados os professores Paulo Martins e Eduardo Aubert, do Departamento de Letras Clássicas e Vernáculas. Eles discutem temas como a interseção entre imagem e poesia na antiguidade clássica. O programa tem o intuito de difundir os conhecimentos sobre a Antiguidade, promover a conexão entre os pesquisadores acadêmicos e o público geral, e está disponível no YouTube e no Spotify. Link 13 - Também foi anunciada na última semana o lançamento da quarta temporada do podcast "Serial", um sucesso internacional de jornalismo investigativo - que abriu as portas pra esse formato de podcast narrativo e de true crime. Nesta temporada, as apresentadores Sarah Koenig e Dana Chivvis mergulham na história da prisão de Guantánamo em Cuba. Criada depois dos ataques de 11 de setembro, a prisão evoluiu ao longo de duas décadas e se tornou uma instituição, no mínimo, controversa. O podcast conta com entrevistas detalhadas com guardas, advogados, ex-prisioneiros e muito mais. O lançamento da nova do Serial temporada está marcado para 28 de março. Link 14 - E nessa edição, também tem lançamento de equipamento! A Shure lançou o MoveMic, um sistema de microfone de lapela sem fio que combina tamanho compacto com qualidade de áudio de transmissão. Desenvolvido especialmente para criadores de conteúdo e jornalistas móveis, o MoveMic oferece uma solução leve para capturar áudio de alta qualidade em movimento. Ele é compatível com smartphones através de conexão direta e também oferece a opção de receptor para outras plataformas, então é um equipamento flexível, e pode aguentar 24 horas de gravação por cada carga. Além disso, o controle completo do aplicativo permite aos usuários ajustar as configurações de áudio de acordo com todo tipo de necessidade. O MoveMic já está disponível pra compra no site oficial da Shure, pela bagatela de 2 mil reais. Link EVENTO: 15 - E nesse sábado vai estar acontecendo em Barueri - São Paulo o Workshop PODCAST PRO, organizado pela Podcast Experience com a Produtora 76. O evento serve pra criar networking com a comunidade de produtores de podcast e também absorver conhecimentos pra alavancar os seus projetos de podcasting. As vagas são limitadas, e as inscrições devem ser feitas o quanto antes. O link está disponível na descrição desse episódio. Link RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL: 16 - E a nossa recomendação nacional desta semana vai para o podcast "Histórias para ouvir lavando louça" (adorei esse nome!), apresentado pelo Alexandre Simone e o Lucas Galdino. Como o próprio nome já sugere, o programa apresenta histórias reais, de gente como a gente, pra você ouvir e se inspirar enquanto dá aquela geral na sua cozinha. São histórias enviadas pelos próprios ouvintes, que o Alexandre e o Lucas apresentam com bastante carisma, bom humor e, principalmente, sensibilidade. O podcast já tem vários episódios no feed, então você pode ouvir lavando louça, lavando o banheiro, dando um banho no seu cachorro e por aí vai. E aqui eu já deixo o aviso: esse é um daqueles podcasts altamente maratonáveis, que você vai ouvir 10 episódios sem nem perceber que o tempo passou. É o tipo de podcast bom. O Histórias para ouvir lavando louça publica episódios novos toda semana, sempre às terças-feiras. Então já assina o podcast no seu agregador de podcast preferido, porque as histórias passam, mas a louça sempre volta. Link E assim a gente fecha esta sexta edição do Pod Notícias.

Vanessa I. Corredera's book Reanimating Shakespeare's Othello in Post-Racial America (Edinburgh Univeristy Press, 2022) looks at how that seventeenth-century play and its protagonist was imagined in theatre, television, and other media between 2008 and 2016. Corredera's analysis ranges from the sketch comedy Key & Peele to Keith Hamilton Cobb's play American Moor, from ever-persistent tradition of minstrel Othello to the reimagining of Shakespeare's play by writers of color. Bringing together examples of cultural texts that perpetuate anti-black racism and other artifacts that offer anti-racist possibilities, Corredera's book helps us to understand this recent moment in U.S. history. At times, to quote Reanimating Shakespeare's Othello in Post-Racial America, creators like Serial's Sarah Koenig “have operationalize[d] what this book demonstrates is in fact the common Othello narrative without truly thinking about its force, wielding Shakespearean authority without any regard as to the potentially subjugating purpose for which she is employing it” (127). Other reanimations invite us to shift our perspective and, by extension, reconsider our identifications with characters such as Desdemona or Iago. Vanessa I. Corredera is Department Chair and Professor of English at Andrews University. Corredera's scholarship has appeared in Literature Compass, Borrowers and Lenders, Shakespeare Quarterly, and The Routledge Handbook to Shakespeare and Global Appropriation. Corredera also just published Shakespeare and Cultural Appropriation, which is co-edited with Geoffrey Way and L. Monique Pittman (Routledge, 2023). In addition to scholarship, Corredera is a celebrated teacher having won campus-wide honors including the Daniel S. Augsburger Excellence in Teaching Award and the Undergraduate Research Mentor Award. During the conversation, Vanessa discusses Brandi K. Adams's article “Black ‘(un)bookishness' in Othello and American Moor: A Meditation” (Shakespeare, 2021), Keith Hamilton Cobb's American Moor (Methuen, 2020), Carol Anderson's White Rage (Bloomsbury, 2016), Kim Hall's edition of Othello (Bedford/St. Martin's, 2006), Imani Perry's Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop (Duke University Press, 2004), Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017), and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's Racism Without Racists (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2003). John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J.

Bringing together examples of cultural texts that perpetuate anti-black racism and other artifacts that offer anti-racist possibilities, Corredera's book helps us to understand this recent moment in U.S. history. At times, to quote Reanimating Shakespeare's Othello in Post-Racial America, creators like Serial's Sarah Koenig “have operationalize[d] what this book demonstrates is in fact the common Othello narrative without truly thinking about its force, wielding Shakespearean authority without any regard as to the potentially subjugating purpose for which she is employing it” (127). Other reanimations invite us to shift our perspective and, by extension, reconsider our identifications with characters such as Desdemona or Iago. Vanessa I. Corredera is Department Chair and Professor of English at Andrews University. Corredera's scholarship has appeared in Literature Compass, Borrowers and Lenders, Shakespeare Quarterly, and The Routledge Handbook to Shakespeare and Global Appropriation. Corredera also just published Shakespeare and Cultural Appropriation, which is co-edited with Geoffrey Way and L. Monique Pittman (Routledge, 2023). In addition to scholarship, Corredera is a celebrated teacher having won campus-wide honors including the Daniel S. Augsburger Excellence in Teaching Award and the Undergraduate Research Mentor Award. During the conversation, Vanessa discusses Brandi K. Adams's article “Black ‘(un)bookishness' in Othello and American Moor: A Meditation” (Shakespeare, 2021), Keith Hamilton Cobb's American Moor (Methuen, 2020), Carol Anderson's White Rage (Bloomsbury, 2016), Kim Hall's edition of Othello (Bedford/St. Martin's, 2006), Imani Perry's Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop (Duke University Press, 2004), Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017), and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's Racism Without Racists (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2003).

The first season of the "Serial" podcast documented the murder of Hae Min Lee and the battle for freedom of her convicted killer, Adnan Syed. Many consider "Serial" as the series that launched the true-crime genre and sparked the podcasting revolution. Produced by the New York Times and hosted by Sarah Koenig, the podcast was briefly successful in having Syed's murder conviction vacated and was convincing enough that Jason himself donated to the exoneration fund. One reporter has done the job that American media seems to have refused to do, debunking "Serial" and making the case that Adnan Syed is indeed guilty in the death of Lee and was wrongfully exonerated. Andrew Hammel joins Jason to discuss his in-depth reporting, which was praised by the creator of HBO's “The Wire,” and lays out his case for Syed's guilt. Learn more about your ad choices.

I grew up a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan.  Every April, we thought, "this could be the year."  Until it wasn't.  But in honor of what used to be our national pasttime, today I'm going to tell you what podcasting and baseball have in common. When you start your show, it's April.   You've got big dreams.   You're going to be the next Serial, or the next Joe Rogan.  You're going to get millions of downloads, and sell enough ads to quit your job and buy your own private island.  Hope springs eternal, right? Then you get into the season, and you realize that this is a LOT harder that it looks - and sounds.   You need to be consistent.  And you need to spend a lot more time practicing - or prepping - than you do actually playing (or recording).   And even if you're a knock-it-out-of-the-park type player, you can't do it without teammates.  That could be cohosts, guest, virtual assistants or VAs, editors, and more.   It sure is fun to start, but it's a grind.    And while everyone wants to win - would you be happy with a .500 record? Making the playoffs? Winning the pennant?  What does that mean for you in terms of downloads and either sales leads or ad revenue? Here's one more comparison.   Baseball interest has plummeted in recent years.  Why? As our attention spans wane, the game has gotten slower.   Time between balls in play has gone from 3 to 4 minutes, which added up over a whole game is a lot.  And the longer your content, the more compelling it needs to be.   News flash: you're not Sarah Koenig or Joe Rogan with a full staff behind you.   Chances are, your show can be more compelling if you keep it under 30 minutes.  And lose the fluff.  If it doesn't interest your audience, leave it on the cutting room floor. If you follow baseball, you'll know this year has brought - forgive the pun - a seismic....shift.    For reasons too long to list here, baseball has gotten away from putting the ball in play, and just going for the home run.  New rules have gone into place for the 2023 season to encourage more singles, doubles, triples, and steals - to keep the action and momentum going. Similarly, podcasting has swung for the fences - look at the hundreds of millions of dollars Spotify and others have thrown around over the last few years.  It wasn't sustainable.   And now, like many other industries, the podcasting world has started to contract - with cuts at many bloated companies.   As Vanity Fair put it, "The Dumb Money is Gone."  Or, as Steve Goldstein of Amplifi Media says, "Belt Tightening will be good for podcasting." More and more folks are listening to podcasts.  After a brief dip in 2021-2022 as we came out of the pandemic, podcast consumption has once again grown this year, to another all time high, according to Edison Research's Annual Infinite Dial Survey.  Four out of 10 Americans age 12-54 have listened to a podcast this week, and weekly podcast listeners average 9 shows per week.  Chances are, your show is not the next Serial, Smartless, or Stuff You Should Know.   Those shows are home runs.  Your show might be a single, double, or triple.  Heck, maybe it's a steal.  Baseball is learning that those plays are key to keeping the game exciting.   And that's why your show is important to podcasting.    If you have any questions at all about podcasting, you can find me online at JAGinDetroit.com, where I have a new guide to all the equipment you'll need to get started: https://jagindetroit.com/podcast-equipment-recommendations/

Now, it's Midday on the Law.  Joining Tom is David Jaros. He's a professor of law at the University of Baltimore School of Law and the Faculty Director of the Center for Criminal Justice Reform. Professor Jaros discusses the case of Adnan Syed, who was convicted in 1999 of murdering his high school girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, and sentenced to life in prison. His case was controversial, and became the focus of journalist Sarah Koenig's award-winning investigative podcast series, "Serial." After serving 23 years of his sentence, Syed was released from prison last November when his conviction was overturned in light of new evidence in the case. But just four months later, his case was back in the headlines after a Baltimore appellate judge on Tuesday (March 28) reinstated Syed's conviction because of a procedural technicality, and ordered a new hearing on the motion to vacate the conviction. Meanwhile, Syed's lawyer is appealing the reinstatement. Professor David Jaros join us with his analysis of the case.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TIME STAMPS: 0:00 Intro 4:10 Bouzy tea 28:50 Taylor Lorenz's latest article 1:27:30 Adnan Syed from the Serial podcast is now free 1:48:16 Ashley Morgan-Smithline's attorney says she *didn't* fire him. WHAT? Welcome to Legal Tea Tuesday! Today we're going over a few topics: - Adnan Syed, the defendant who was the focus of the true crime podcast "Serial," has just been freed from prison and his murder sentence vacated. The state has 30 days to decide whether to dismiss his case or to set a new trial. - Taylor Lorenz has a new article out on "misogyny on YouTube." She says female creators have a particular target on their backs that men don't. I have thoughts. - Ashley Morgan-Smithline's attorney has filed a response to Brian Warner's (p/k/a Marilyn Manson) opposition to his motion to amend the subpoena for Smithline's deposition. This is the one where Warner's legal team introduced explosive information that implicates Smithline's attorney in some potential professional liability issues. ... And some Bot Sentinel tea. CONTEXT: SMITHLINE V. MANSON Over the years since 2016, Evan Rachel Wood began speaking publicly about domestic violence, saying she had been abused by two unnamed men. On 2/21/2021, Wood named Brian Warner p/k/a Marilyn Manson as one of her abusers, alleging that he abused her physically and emotionally during their romantic relationship which lasted between 2006 and 2010. On the same day, a handful of other women also made statements claiming to be victims of Warner's abuse. His alleged victims include Ashley Morgan Smithline, Esme Bianco, and Ashley Walters. In 6/2022, Ashley Morgan Smithline filed a lawsuit against Marilyn Manson alleging all kinds of abuses against her during a romantic relationship. In 3/2022, Marilyn Manson, filed a lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood and Ashley Gore aka Illma Gore. In the lawsuit, he alleges four causes of action: defamation per se, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of computer hacking laws, and violation of laws barring impersonation over the internet. ADNAN SYED In 1999, Adnan Syed was convicted of murdering his then-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. They both were seniors in high school at the time. In 2014, an investigative journalist by the name of Sarah Koenig published a true crime podcast called Serial, in which she dug into the details of the murder, the investigation, and Syed's conviction. This podcast blew up in popularity, and as a result, a swell of people were calling for an investigation into Syed's conviction. After several unsuccessful attempts to appeal the results (both before and after Serial's publishing), on 9/19/2022, Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn vacated Syed's conviction. The state has 30 days to dismiss the case or set a new trial. ----------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvDEmKLft6F2MxhuNUMwag/join

We at re:verb can neither confirm nor deny whether the truth will set you free - but it certainly provides good fodder for rhetorical criticism! On today's show, Alex and Calvin present a re:joinder episode with a unique rhetorical artifact: an “unclassified” podcast recently released by one of the most secretive intelligence agencies in the world, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).The first episode of The Langley Files: A CIA Podcast features hosts “Dee” and “Walter” interviewing current CIA Director Bill Burns about the history and current state of the agency, in their own words. But, of course, there's more to it than that! We examine this podcast as a rhetorical genre with a specific social action in mind: gaining the assent and trust of the center-left-aligned American public, and recruiting educated liberals to work for the agency.From their straight-out-of-true-crime theme music to the hosts' vocal performances echoing the likes of Sarah Koenig and Roman Mars, we note the eerie formal parallels between The Langley Files and some of the most popular informative/investigative podcasts currently running. In addition, we talk about some of the new (and some old) propaganda tropes that the CIA uses to describe its work, from its essentially “apolitical” function, “working in secrecy to protect the American people”, “organizing assets to do hard work in hard places,” all the way to the now-vaunted “competition” amongst “great powers” (a.k.a. the U.S. and China). We also critique and contexualize the strange virtue-signaling at play in how the CIA describes two of its recent “successes”: their prediction that Russia was going to invade Ukraine earlier this year, and their targeted assassination of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.What emerges from our analysis is a clearer picture of why the CIA might produce a podcast like this. For one, they outline a need to recuperate the agency's image in the face of what they call “a short supply” of “trust in institutions” from the American public. But more troublingly, we theorize that this podcast is designed as an avenue for humanizing the labor of the people who work in the agency, and as a way of recruiting educated liberals who face slim job prospects and harbor revulsion for the reactionary, anti-“deep state” American right-wing.Works and Concepts Cited in this EpisodeCIA's own journal on what the Intelligence Community means by "customers""Humans of CIA" Recruiting VideoItalian journalist Stefania Maurizi's thread on the US role in propping up recently elected far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia MeloniLee, M.

Is ”Serial” Guilty ... of Bad Journalism? w/Rebecca Lavoie & Janet Varney

News from the "Wrongs Righted" Desk ~~ Adnan Syed, imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit, was released after 23 years in prison. If you've heard of Syed, it's from the podcast "Serial," which kick-started the ... trend? genre? industry? ... of longform podcasting. But is it good journalism? After "Serial" premiered in 2014, questions arose about its accuracy; "Serial" creator Sarah Koenig's reporting focused on aspects of the story that made Syed look guilty (or just made the story look better) and ignored some crucial evidence that argued for his innocence. In the years since, there's been a lot of critique (and other podcasts) that have not only poked holes in the prosecution's story, but also "Serial" itself. And yet, now that Syed is out, all eyes will once again be pointed toward that flawed but very influential podcast, which has never corrected its mistakes. We're getting into that today. But first, a missing person's case: Stephen is on vacation, y'all! So Brandon invited on two guests for a JOURNOS chat  about the Adnan Syed case, the legacy of "Serial," and podcasting as a form of journalism. Get deep into the weeds with Rebecca Lavoie of the podcast "Crime Writers On," and friend of the show (and sometime Elizabeth Holmes) Janet Varney, who cohosts the podcast "Truth & Justice" with Bob Ruff.  In the case of Adnan Syed, justice has been served, but it raises all kinds of questions about responsibility in journalism, the state of podcasting, and who gets to be the final authority on telling someone's story. NOTES A couple of true-crime podcasts get discussed in this ep, all excellent: "Undisclosed" is the one that corrected the flaws with the "Serial" story, co-hosted by Rabia Chaudry, without whom "Serial" might not exist in its current form, and without whom Syed might still be in prison. We also talk about "Bear Brook," "Suspect," and "In the Dark." "In the Dark" is especially noteworthy since the reporting that went into that podcast was used as evidence to convince the Supreme Court to overthrow the conviction of Curtis Flowers, which says a hell of a lot about the potential of the humble podcast to make a difference.

The Release of Adnan Syed and the Limits of 'Serial'

Earlier this week, Adnan Syed, the subject of the hit 2014 podcast 'Serial, walked free after a judge ruled that there were errors in the State of Maryland's investigation of his case. In 2000, at age 17, Syed was convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee, his high school ex-girlfriend, back in 2000. The lasting impact of Serial is hard to overstate. The podcast reached millions of listeners around the world, inspiring legions of internet sleuths to dig into the evidence of the case themselves and creating the template for a new genre of serialized, true-crime podcasts.  Rabia Chaudry, an attorney, criminal justice reform advocate, and friend of Syed, was the person who originally brought Syed's story to Sarah Koenig, the host and reporter of Serial who was then working at WBEZ's This American Life. Chaudry was eager for media attention on the flaws in the state of Maryland's investigation of Lee's murder, but the media phenomenon that Serial would become far surpassed anything she could have predicted. Chaudry subsequently launched her own podcast, Undisclosed, and she executive produced a 2019 documentary for HBO, "The Case Against Adnan Syed." In this in-depth conversation with Brooke Gladstone, Chaudry talks about her decades-long fight to free Syed, the limits of Serial, and how she's harnessed the power of podcasting to exonerate people who have been falsely accused.

This week: Serial and the importance of content curation, Spotify launches audiobooks, Spanish-language TV is surging,  why Wonder Media Network won't use programmatic, and SirusXM is no longer the biggest podcast network by reach. Let's get started. Serial and the importance of content curation.  Manuela: Last week news broke that prosecution would petition for the release of Adnan Syed, whose case was the subject of the first season of Serial. Since then Syed has been officially released. In the interim conversation regarding the case and the part Serial played in popularizing it reached a boiling point on social media. On Friday the 16th attorney Rabia O'Chaudry, host of Undisclosed and the person who originally brought Syed's case to the attention of Sarah Koenig, tweeted an analogy for how Serial fit into the narrative of Syed's release: “Imagine you ask someone to help renovate your house. Instead they set fire to it. The story about the fire brings thousands to your aid that rebuild your house.” Media critic and true crime aficionado Rebecca Lavoie quote-tweeted O'Chaudry to start a thread with an important lesson to be learned from Serial. “I have previously heralded Serial as a seminal piece of media and even made a podcast originally based on reviewing it. But given the facts of the case, Rabia's analogy is precise. Serial doesn't hold up. And its biggest crime is its abandonment of its own reporting.”Lavoie details several sections of the popular podcast that contain outdated or inaccurate knowledge with seven years of hindsight that, due to the podcast's popularity, are still being discovered by brand new podcast listeners with. No warnings or amendments have been placed on the original season of Serial.  “I am not saying that Sarah Koenig et al have an obligation to report this story forever. But…the owners of the Serial feed (now [The New York Times]) have an absolute obligation to point news consumers to the latest… news.”Lavoie points to dynamic ad insertion tech and how it could be used to retroactively place a warning giving context without having to manually update each episode's file. Given last year's scandal with Caliphate, the NYT is no stranger to retroactively adding disclaimers to its own in-house reporting. Lavoie argues they have the same level of responsibility to maintain legacy feeds. Even the most popular true crime podcast in the industry is not above poor reporting or claims that were later disproven by new evidence. Despite being seven years old, Serial's popularity means statistically it's still someone's first podcast in 2022. Spotify Offers Audiobook Service with 300,000 Titles  Shreya: This Tuesday Spotify announced the launch of their audiobook platform. “Starting today, Spotify listeners in the U.S. will be able to purchase and listen to more than 300,000 audiobook titles—making our platform a true all-in-one destination for everyone's listening needs. And we're excited to launch audiobooks with a brand-new user interface that's geared specifically for listening to audiobooks and fits them seamlessly alongside the music and podcasts you already listen to and love.” The new audiobook interface includes an in-app purchase screen to buy each individual audiobook. Most popular audiobook platforms, like Audible or Libro.fm,  use a monthly subscription system that gives users a set amount of credits to exchange for audiobooks at a rate that costs less than purchasing them retail. Spotify's model requires a Premium Spotify membership for the ability to purchase audiobooks.Press materials include a series of four screenshots depicting the purchase of Colleen Hoover's novel It Ends with Us for $13.99, on sale from a normal listing of $17.99. This pricing is in lockstep with the average retail cost of the same book at popular audiobook providers Google Play, Kobo, and Audible if the user is not a subscriber. With this addition Spotify is now a one-stop shop for the casual user. While it might not attract many users specifically for the audiobook functionality, any user who listens to music or podcasts with Premium has the ability to buy audiobooks and listen without leaving the app they're already paying for. Spanish-Language TV viewership surges despite mishandled metrics, lackluster representation.  Manuela: As is becoming common on The Download, this segment will discuss two articles that are closely related. First off: Spanish-language TV Viewership is Surging by Kelsey Sutton for MarketingBrew. The headline leads into a subheader explaining the surge is accompanied by poor measurement leading to under-investing. Now things are turning around. “We're sure you've heard it about a million times: linear TV viewership is, on average, not looking good. But there's one segment of old-fashioned TV whose outlook seems downright rosy.  Spanish-language TV networks, including mainstays like Univision and Telemundo, are on the upswing, growing daily audience reach even as many other major networks are seeing steady declines.” Dan Reiss, EVP and chief growth office at TelevisaUnivision told MarketingBrew Univision has seen an increase of brands on-air of more than 200 over the past two years. One of the benefits of podcasting being a younger industry than other media is it can learn from their mistakes and adjust earlier on when it's easier to do so. Just last month Edison Research's Latino Podcast Listener Report dropped, revealing 59% of the U.S. Latino population have listened to podcasts. Podcasting is a diverse field and should be treated as such from the ground up. To that note the final quote from an AdExchanger piece featuring Orci CEO Marina Filippelli: ““Gen Z can smell bullshit from a mile away – they know whether or not creative was produced by somebody like them,” Filippelli said. “Representation needs to take place not just in front of the camera, but behind the scenes.” Why Wonder Media Network won't sell its podcast ad inventory programmatically Shreya: This Tuesday Kayleigh Barber published a piece distilling an interview on the Digiday Podcast into article form. The interview features Wonder Media Network co-founder and CRO Shira Atkins enthusiastically explaining why the network refuses to carry programmatically-served ads, instead choosing a more bespoke approach. Not only are ads produced in-network, they're permanently baked-in.  “But on the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast, Atkins said she still believes that programmatic is “a tragedy for the podcasting ecosystem at large.” Her team does not sell any of its ad space programmatically. Instead, the podcast network uses its branded content studio to make bespoke audio ads, which Atkins said creates memorable ads that listeners are less likely to skip over.” It's worth noting the difference between content provided by programmatic methods and the tool of programmatic advertising itself. High quality memorably ads like those produced by Wonder Media Network for baked-in use can be served programmatically through direct deals that operationalize and improve the process for both buyers and sellers.  NPR, for example, does this currently with great success. Programmatic distribution is a tool, not a particular flavor of advertisement.  “We don't [carry programmatic-sold ads] because the reason that we're able to demand such high CPM [or sell flat rate deads] is that we're selling embedded ads in perpetuity. It makes me feel like an old lady whenever people ask me about this, because they're like, ‘I can't believe you don't do dynamic ad insertion.' But it works for us.” Host reads, baked-in, and dynamic ad insertion are all excellent tools that podcast audiences are receptive to, and companies like Wonder Media Network are an excellent example of how the power of the podcasting industry can allow individual facets of the industry to exist and thrive on their own.  Sounds Profitable's first research study - After These Messages - has the data to back up the efficacy of host-read ads. The study shows the audience preference for host-read ads over generic announcer-read ads, which Atkins conflates with programmatic, is much smaller than one would expect.  Spotify hits the top of Edison Manuela: For our final story I don't have to summarize the info, as they do it for me. “This week Edison Research publicly announced the ranking of the biggest podcasting networks through the second quarter of 2022, based on Edison Podcast Metrics survey of over 8,000 weekly podcast listeners age 18 and older.” For the three years Edison Research has done this report on podcast metrics, SiriusXM Media has held the top spot of the U.S. Top Podcast Networks, By Reach report. This last quarter the top contender was unseated by the relative newcomer. As of Q2 of this year Spotify is the #1 network by reach. They've gradually risen up the charts over years, using a combination of acquisitions, licensing deals, original content, and a fertile walled garden to grow the platform. As of this last quarter the top five now reads Spotify, SiriusXM Media, iHeartRadio, Audioboom, and NPR.  Quick Hits: Recommended Weekend Reading Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles we're calling Quick Hits.

This week:  Athletic Greens gives us the scoop on its podcast advertising strategy by Alyssa Meyers of Marketing Brew.The article features company CRO Jonathan Corne explaining their strategy of carefully selecting podcasts to sponsor with intent of establishing a long-term relationship.  ‘Gaming is very much here to stay': Why Axe body spray is taking a bigger swing at esports marketing by Kimeko McCoy of Digiday.

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.

But… not the kind you eat for breakfast. That was just a hint, remember?The award-winning Serial with an “S” that first graced our ears back in 2014. Why? Because the Ambie's Podcast Awards have bestowed upon their team a great honor. Last week, co-creators Sarah Koenig and Julia Snyder accepted The Ambie's Board of Governors Award in recognition of the impact that Serial has had on the podcasting industry. In 2014, we were well acquainted with what it meant to binge a series on Netflix, but the whole “bingeing a podcast” thing wasn't on anyone's radar until that first season of Serial. So, today, let's raise a cup of coffee to the cultural audio phenomenon that helped bring podcasting where it is today. Cheers! And congratulations on well-deserved recognition, Serial! Thanks for joining me, and tune in tomorrow for Wednesday's PodGuide! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tuckered Outers!  I wanted to post our interview with Rabia Chaudry, which we published back in December, since we are planning a part 2 with her very soon!So I started this podcast back in 2017 after listening and being inspired by the first season of Serial, the most downloaded podcast of all time. I could not think of a better guest to round out this year than the woman who brought Adnan Syed's case to light, Rabia Chaudry.Rabia Chaudry is a Pakistani-American attorney, author and podcast host. A childhood friend of Adnan Syed, subject of the podcast Serial (2014), Chaudry subsequently wrote a book about his case called Adnan's Story: The Search for Truth and Justice After Serial (2016), which became a New York Times best seller. Chaudry co-hosts 3 podcasts- Undisclosed, a podcast on Syed's case and many others, which has now 360 million downloads, The 45th, which followed the crazy that was Trumps presidency, and The Hidden Djinn, showcasing the folklore and history behind the legends of the djinn, and connecting the tales through Islamic, Christian, and Jewish sources. She is also an Executive Producer of a four-part HBO documentary "The Case Against Adnan Syed." She tells me how she feels about Serial now looking back and how she is still not giving up hope, how Adnan and his family are doing now and the case as it stands, and her personal theory on what really happened. We also talk about her personal struggles at home during her first marriage and how law school saved her, the Safe Nation Collaborative, which she founded, and it's focus on CVE (countering violent extremism), Undisclosed, the biggest wrongful conviction podcast in the world, which has now helped exonerate nearly a dozen defendants, and her future innocence work with the Aspen Institute/ADL Civil Society Fellow. Rabia's second book, "Fatty Fatty Boom Boom", a memoir on food, fat, and family, is due to be out in 2022. There was so much to talk about, I have a feeling there may be a part two to this! So please enjoy my final episode of 2021 with Rabia Chaudry. www.rabiachaudry.com

Heather and Sabine introduce us to Sarah Koenig who is a performance expert with more than 20 years of experience in building systems and execution that drive performance growth. She is the founder of Optimize Advisory where she serves as a remote fractional COO and a positive intelligence coach.  In the first part of the episode, Sarah gives us information about what positive intelligence is. She also gives us an overview of the steps needed to be accomplished in order to achieve your full potential when participating with the positive intelligence system. She also talks about the different saboteurs which are negative thoughts that hinders us to fully function with a positive mindset.  In the second part of the episode, Sarah introduces us to an exercise called “PQ Reps” which helps the brain build up new muscles that eventually release endorphins that counter stress related hormones. Sarah and Heather also do a little role-playing which shows how Sarah handles her clients when going through the positive intelligence system.  Episode Highlights: 1:59 Positive Intelligence is a simple three-step operating system that allows us to manage the negative thoughts that get in our way.  5:47 People feel anxious because they know what they should be doing. They know that they aren't on top of it. And that delay often creates more unpleasantness until that thing you've been avoiding becomes unavoidable.  10:21 We want to command our brains to leverage its sage portions, which are the mid prefrontal cortex, the empathy circuitry and more right brained parts which motivate you through positive emotions.  14:23 You realize that in that moment, it takes as little as 10 seconds of PQ Reps to activate a shift within your brain.  15:47 It's amazing because as your day gets busy, you don't even realize just how much you hold tension in your body, how breathing becomes more shallow, and how business builds up in your day, taking a small break like that can really anchor you and change the course of the rest of your day. 16:54 The most impactful part of positive intelligence, because most development stops here, is that positive intelligence gives you a roadmap to move forward directly toward your goals.  27:06 But ultimately, it's important to remember that as humans, your mental mindset will fluctuate. And our minds have that possibility of serving us more than they hinder us if we're in that positive zone. Contact information:  https://www.heatherpriceconsulting.com/ (Heather Price Consulting)
