Have You Heard of Serial Productions?
Sarah Koenig here. I wanted to let you know that all episodes of our latest show, "Nice White Parents", are out now.
I also wanted you to know that we’re putting the whole show down our Serial feed. What is a feed, you ask? It is the place where you listen to Serial on whatever podcast app you use. If you go there now, you will find all five episodes of Nice White Parents.
And I hope you will go there now, because it’s such a good show. It’s hosted by This American Life producer Chana Joffe-Walt, who tells the story of this one public school in Brooklyn and its twisting -- and sometimes twisted -- relationship with white parents in the neighborhood.
So, to recap: Serial “feed,” Nice White Parents, all five episodes, now.
You’ll still find all three seasons of Serial there, too. We’ve also got some new shows in the works; I’ll write again when they’re ready for you.
Thank you,
Sarah K.
Nice White Parents is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Serial Productions was launched in 2017 by Sarah Koenig, Ms. Snyder and Ira Glass, colleagues at “This American Life,” a weekly radio show. The company is co-owned by its founders. ... Koenig hosts and is an executive producer of “Serial,” which made its debut in 2014 as a spinoff of “This American Life.” Serial is heading back to court. This time, in Cleveland. A year inside a typical American courthouse. This season we tell you the extraordinary stories of ordinary cases. One courthouse, told week by week.
