13318381, Why are you talking about books?!?!
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Fri Mar-08-19 09:35 AM
Maybe you just lost me on books. We are comparing two podcasts. Leave the books metaphor out of this because it ain't working.

You used a lot of words to say that the undisclosed podcast is more compelling and persuasive than the serial podcast.

I am saying I don't have the energy to listen to another podcast advocating the same thing as the first podcast I listened to IF it doesn't address the very simple point I made in the OP. I wouldn't waste hours listening to a podcast if it doesn't thread that needle.

You are also not making a compelling case for me to listening to the Undisclosed because it has a "far more in-depth legal perspective." It doesn't take me being a lawyer (which I am) to know dude had a shitty trial. I got that from Serial. He may ultimately be freed because he had shitty trials. But that doesn't address the underlying fact of who killed this girl.

And I bet this doc won't do a good job of addressing that question. But I like docs for docs sake. I can enjoy it from a filmmaking level.

You call it a bias. A bias is typically an uninformed position. My position is based on the facts available. If you, Undisclosed or the DOC present some facts that change my mind, I'll change my mind.


What you call me being obtuse is another way to put I don't find what you are saying persuasive.
