ideastream’s roundtable podcast to discuss the 3rd season of the hit podcast, Serial. The producers of Serial spent a year reporting on a series of cases at the Justice Center in Cleveland, Ohio to explore the criminal justice system. We break down each episode with a panel of Northeast Ohio criminal justice insiders. Hosted by ideastream’s Elizabeth Miller and Lawrence Daniel Caswell.

It’s the final episode of Serial season three, and we return to Joshua, the teenager who is left in limbo in Ohio Department of Youth Services custody. Eventually, Joshua is bound over to the adult system, which, it turns out – he prefers.

This week’s panel includes Plain Dealer reporter Rachel Dissell and criminal defense attorney Andrea Whitaker.

Cleveland Talks Serial is hosted by ideastream’s Elizabeth Miller and Lawrence Daniel Caswell.

This is our last Cleveland Talks Serial – but we will have a bonus episode soon featuring an interview with Serial co-host Emmanuel Dzotsi!
