Alumna Creates Podcast to Explore the Issues Behind "Serial"

Susan Simpson, JD '09, is the co-creator of a new podcast, "Undisclosed: The State v. Adnan Syed," that delves more deeply into the legal issues behind the hugely popular podcast, "Serial." Both podcasts feature the story of Adnan Syed, a man serving a life sentence in Maryland after being convicted of murdering his high school girlfriend when he was a teenager, however, "Undisclosed" differs from "Serial" because it is "an investigatory perspective not a narrative one." Simpson and her team plan to run weekly podcasts through the appeals process and have reached three million downloads.
