Serial Podcast
Brilliant podcast about a teenager named Adnan Syed who was convicted of and sentenced to life in prison for murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Le in 1999.
He has always and still does maintain his innocence, but can't remember exactly what he did that day. That, coupled with the changing stories of his friends and a trial with a seemingly incompetent defence lawyer, got him sent to prison for life.
The journalist who hosts this podcast spent a year gathering evidence and questioning everyone involved to try and piece together what actually happened.
It's lengthy. There's about 5-6 hours worth of listening over 12 episodes, but I was totally gripped and listened until 1:00am last night and finished it off today. Great stuff.
EDIT: Just found out there's also a follow up with the original journalist and two lawyers who also have an interest. That's the next few hours for me sorted... undisclosed-podcast.com/

Basically a radio show in mp3 format

as evil_andy says it is a radio show in mp3 format
but the point of a podcast is that you can subscribe to it, which means that every time a new show/episode is posted it will be automatically downloaded by the app you use to listen to podcasts (eg, iTunes).
Also 'WTF' means Welcome To Facebook, mostly when encountered online.

I liked it at first,
then I thought, she's stringing it out a bit, then I thought, she's lost her objectivity, then I thought, she hasn't got anywhere near adequate cooperation from the only guy who isn't in prison who has any real idea of what happened, then I thought that her conclusion was going to be an obvious and lazy one, then I thought, it's weird how popular this has been given the huge amount of great podcasts out there, then I was hungry, then I had a nap.
Edit: you'll enjoy this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gww53yFfMnI
