Instead of taking down a presidency, their investigations range from a high school murder trial to the war in Afghanistan. And rather than working in paper and ink, they’ve got a podcast. Launched in 2014, Serial became the fastest podcast to reach five million downloads in iTunes history. The first season of the podcast presented a 12-part series on one legal case, captivating an audience that downloaded the episodes more than 100 million times (and counting).
