Who would complain about a new outlet for long form investigative journalism that's actually massively popular? This podcast is as great as the commentaries/communities that treat it like Game of Thrones are shallow and stupid. Are there actually people who think that good journalism that gets too popular becomes bad in some way or is this just a way to generate a "hot take" story? "“I’d rather disappoint many, many people than make some conclusion just because I’ve got to make . . . a satisfying story,” she told Slate’s Mike Pesca. “I hope that’s not where I lead all of my listeners but . . . I don’t know.” If she doesn’t provide one, argued Pesca in the same interview, “the internet will rise up in a collective wail” and he pleaded with Koenig to reassure him that Serial would not “wind up being a contemplation on the nature of truth”." Here's the better story, hopefully shithead narcissists like Pesca don't ever try to follow Serial because they would turn it into an exploitative farce.
