Well, you're in luck, because we've got a brand new show called The Idiot coming at the end of March, 2026.

And I am predicting you're going to love it.

Okay, on to Serial Season 1.

From This American Life in WBEZ Chicago, it's Serial.

One story told week by week.

I'm Sarah Koenig.

The cops who investigated the murder of Heyman Lee were both experienced Baltimore City detectives.

Their names were Ritz and McGillivray, Bill Ritz and Greg McGillivray.

And how I wish right now that I could play you tape of their perspective on this case.

But they didn't want to be interviewed.
