The folks at This American Life have started their first offshoot series. Serial will be an ongoing series, much like TAL, but instead of new stories every week they will focus on one story per season and follow the characters and plot developments throughout. You know, kinda like TV. This provides a huge opportunity to hear a lot more from the people involved in any particular saga and it sounds promising to me. Hopefully they even take a little hint from Love + Radio and just let those involved speak for awhile, uninterrupted.

Whatever it ends up being, I'm happy to see such an institution like TAL finally embracing a bit of technology.
