Kine's thing is released through Gimlet run by TAL and Planet Money alum Alex Blumberg...It appears that they really do all sit around thinking stuff up together.<br /><br />I find the Mystery Show (and Blumberg's 'Start-Up') to be superior to Serial as there really is some there, there even if it is only, in the case of Kine's thing especially, made of whimsy and wonder.<br /><br />.RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-68279188040668656282015-07-23T22:00:00.514-07:002015-07-23T22:00:00.514-07:00The BBC, which has distributed thousands of differ...The BBC, which has distributed thousands of different shows by podcast, will be surprised to hear the platform has only been big since last September.<br /><br />My little audio device has, among many other programs, 648 45-minute episodes of <b>In Our Time</b>, Melvyn Bragg's weekly exploration of just about every subject studied by humankind.<br /><br />Presumably the September reference is to Serial, created by Sarah Koenig, Ira Glass et al. Personally, I thought it delivered much less than promised but, given the quality of This American Life, Serial Season 2 will get better.Norm Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762889793990336381noreply@blogger.com
