Perversely, perhaps, with its legalese-heavy tone and artlessness, what Undisclosed does do is remind us what a skilled storyteller Koenig is. Instead, the show feels like a reheat of old leftovers rather than a new perspective. You could forgive terrible production values – such as the differing sound levels and ham-fisted editing – if the content of Undisclosed added to the conversation. The second line of argument that Undisclosed follows focuses on Adnan remembering where he was the day after Lee disappeared, but it is told in a pretty confusing fashion Chaudry ends up sounding like she is repeating a tongue-twister over and over again. He spoke with The Intercepts Natasha Vargas-Cooper about his version of events on the day Baltimore-area teenager Hae Min Lee was killed in 1999. It’s at this point you long for some of Koenig’s skittish, but ultimately valuable, introspective dithering. Fans of 'Serial' were given a bit of an epilogue on Monday: Jay Wilds, the states key witness in its case against Adnan Syed, agreed to an on-the-record interview. In his second, she says, he was prompted and helped by the police. Particularly because Jen and Jay also give different locations to where they disposed of Jay’s dirty clothes and boots after he buried Hae.

According to Chaudry, Jay sounded “like an actor who’s forgotten his next line” in his first police testimony. Serial is the 1 podcast in America right now.

Where Serial mined questions of absolute truth and cleverly circled the possibilities of guilt and innocence, Undisclosed sounds like an update from the We Heart Adnan fan club, with Jay as Brutus to Syed’s Caesar. So, what is it? For Chaudry, who has known Syed since he was 13 and is a founder of the Adnan Syed Fund, her intentions are pretty clear. Nor is it a “beautifully crafted narrative,” à la Serial. Sarah Koenig concluded the 12-part Serial podcast in December (Serial) The state say Adnan, whom she dated until weeks before her death, murdered Hae in her car and then disposed of her body later that evening with the help of his associate Jay Wilds, who became the key witness to the entire trial.
Conceived by Rabia Chaudry, the Syed family friend and lawyer who first brought the case to Koenig’s attention, it covers the same story as Serial but, as Chaudry says, “this is not Serial part two”. If the final episode didn’t conform to the rules of a whodunnit, it was a salutary reminder that these were real people, not fictional characters. As we attempted to work out the time it took to get to that Best Buy store, the real-life players – Adnan Syed, his murdered girlfriend Hae Min Lee and friend Jay Wilds – became embedded in our consciousness. Sarah Koenig’s intricately drawn-out murder case became a collective obsession. F or most casual listeners, Serial marked the moment that the podcast went fully mainstream. On this episode of The Lost Podcast, Jay and Jack are joined by Ryan and Jen Ozawa of The Transmission to discuss the Season 2 episodes, The Long Con.
