Backstage with the Creators of SERIAL

Binge-Worthy Journalism: Backstage with the Creators of SERIAL
Presented by Sunset Presents


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). In their live presentation, co-creators Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder take the audience backstage for this cultural phenomenon, using some of their favorite tape to narrate personal stories about the ups and downs of creating a new form of modern storytelling.

Julie Snyder, senior producer of This American Life (TAL), began working at the radio show in 1997—almost from its inception—and along with host Ira Glass, has set the editorial agenda for the program, winning four Peabody awards along the way. In 2004, Sarah Koenig became a producer of TAL. Koenig has guest hosted TAL several times, most memorably for the "No Coincidence, No Story" show.
