  It's a podcast done by This American Life.  I don't know that I would listen to it out loud.  This season is about Bowe Bergdahl.  I have by ear buds in listening.
  
  Try the first season.  It's amazing.
  
  ETA: The website is SFW.

  I listened to the first one last night. I'm intrigued. I'm embarrassed to say that somehow I didn't read about this when it was going on, so after I listened, I went back and read a few articles that were written at the time. I am looking forward to seeing where she goes with this, because I'm not going to lie, I think this dude seems like a crazy person and I'm finding a hard time feeling sympathetic toward his desire to be like Jason Bourne 0_o

  @jackiback I totally agree.  I think it's an interesting choice because it's such a well known case/person.  I mean, I see his desire to have a serious change happen, but this Jason Bourne/Hero aspect is a little... unhinged.
  
  And just how does one just call the Taliban??

  I know! I thought that was so crazy at the end when Sara's just calling up the Taliban. What?

  
  

  I actually don't remember hearing about this guy in the news at all, so I'm going in without any kind of bias and very intrigued so far.

  Did you guys here that they are going to court-martial Beau Bergdahl?  I saw it on the news last night.  They were playing clips of the Serial episode.
