Meghan, a 30-year-old nurse from Washington who asked that WIRED not use her last name, has spent seven years on the sub out of “habit.” She enjoyed the early “exciting” days when people regularly posted new discoveries and says chatting with strangers over the years has been beneficial.

(He asked that WIRED not use his real name for privacy purposes.) He says he’s seen “some of the most gruesome things I’ve ever seen on the internet” thanks to his interest in the Serial case. At first he found it “fun,” but in his time there he has been verbally attacked as well as doxed-a stranger from the subreddit once called him at work. Marcus is a 42-year-old from Seattle who joined Reddit purely so he could post on r/serialpodcast. It can also lead people to things they regret. He quickly noticed that arguing with people on the sub was “adding to that.” As the group split into those who thought Syed was innocent and those who thought he was guilty, Coccio would occasionally “lash out” when debating strangers. “I was really hyper-aware of things that made me feel worked up and anxious and manic,” he says.
When he began posting about Serial, Coccio was trying to lower his blood pressure without medication, so he monitored it regularly. But gradually, the subreddit became polarized. “You want to go and talk to people about it and be there in that moment of mystery with them,” he says. The 47-year-old filmmaker from Los Angeles was “engrossed” by Serial. And meanwhile, all that investigating can be taxing on the people doing it.īen Coccio left r/serialpodcast eight years ago. On the other hand, citizen sleuths can potentially waste police time. Serial did help vacate Syed’s conviction, and other podcasts and forums have played their own roles in the justice system. Whether actively dredging up the troubling details of old cases in those spaces is good is debatable.
