I listened to the Serial podcast Dustwun (season 2 episode 1) about Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl. I liked the structure of this podcast, because I think it would be able to keep the listener interested. The podcast was mainly in a narrative format with the narrator explaining Bergdahls story and time held in captivity by the Taliban. The narrator introduced the story and then used music and it went to a commercial which was a good cliffhanger. Towards the beginning of the podcast snippets of other conversations related to Bergdahl were inserted regarding his release which I thought was interesting. Bergdahl isn’t interviewed directly by the narrator but clips of him talking are inserted. The narrator also interviewed a few soldiers who were in Afghanistan at the same time as Bergdahl.

This series is one of my favorites because the investigative reporter pulls me back and forth as I try to figure out my own opinion. This particular situation was compelling because I know people who had very different reactions to his choice and the way he should be treated when he was released. I felt like I had a better understanding of this situation but also of the many view points of those who were directly involved. I hope you will finish the season some time.
