Serial ep 13 & Witnessed: Mystic Mother

Serial ep 13 & Witnessed: Mystic Mother

Last week, after two decades in prison, Adnan Syed walked out of a Baltimore courtroom when his conviction for Hae Min Lee’s murder was vacated. Sarah Koenig's new episode 13 of “Serial” may play like an epilogue to Adnan's story, but its creation has sparked new consideration for what the famous podcast got wrong, its ongoing obligation to the subject, and whether making Adnan the world’s most famous wrongfully-convicted inmate was enough.

Then...the Phoenix Goddess Temple said it was a house of worship, a place where the healing powers of feminine touch would bring about a sacred union. But police said it was a high-end brothel hiding behind religious protections. In the eight-part podcast “Witnessed: Mystic Mother,” Katie and Leah Henoch revisit the scandal. They also ponder the nature of sex work and what set the Phoenix Goddess Temple apart.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "WITNESSED: MYSTIC MOTHER" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 10 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
