Example Of A Podcast Essay

In this podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig listeners’ are given an overview of a case that investigated the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee. This podcast officially begins with the voice of the young man who was accused of the murder from the jail he resides. I thought this was pretty creative way to start the podcast off.
