Late to the Serial Party

This is an amazing show!

I went back to my highschool days when I used to listen to NPR like it was music in the background and if I have internet connection, Serial will be my new version of Spotify – for the 7 episodes I have left.

I guess in college I've regressed from pouring new information into my brain recreationally, which is something I've been trying to rectify this semester. I noticed that I spend a ton of idle time being on the subway and waiting for the subway and I don't like having my phone out so I wanted an alternative.

My father gave me a finance book 3 years ago that I had never gotten to and I decided to take up the challenge by reading it in idle time on the subway. I felt it was the perfect opportunity to because... why not? Plus, I get to learn a fantastic new skill in my free time.

I've got some interesting looks by my choice of book; some people probably would expect a finance-looking-Wall-Street guy to be reading the book I casually peruse.

Back to Serial, it's such an intense show I would not like to listen to it while I'm out and about walking some where. Being in NYC I'd probably look at everyone I pass with a lingering suspicion they could be the true suspect of the story. I "binged-listened" to 5 episodes straight and had to watch Netflix before I went to bed to make sure I would have some sort of a nightmare.
