Serial to Release Episodes Every Other Week

The team needs more time for extra reporting.

Serial has scaled back its publishing frequency to every other week. The New York Times reports that the fifth episode of Serial’s second season—which follows the case of Bowe Bergdahl—will be moved to Jan. 21. The biweekly schedule will continue after that.

Executive producer Julie Snyder told the Times that the podcast was switching things up because staffers needed time for more reporting.

“There are more paths we need to go down,” explained Snyder. “Since we started broadcasting the show, we have gotten more people willing to talk, and because of that, it has opened up more avenues of reporting.”
