As promised, here’s a bonus episode of Cleveland Talks Serial -- an interview with Serial season three co-host Emmanuel Dzotsi, who spent about eight months living in Cleveland to research and report for the show. He also has some other Ohio connections -- Emmanuel grew up in Toledo and attended OSU.
Liz and Lawrence ask Emmanuel their burning questions, along with questions from our regular panelists, Plain Dealer reporter Rachel Dissell and criminal defense attorney Andrea Whitaker, and some of the questions you asked in our Cleveland Talks Serial Facebook group. Cleveland Talks Serial Facebook group.
We cover a lot in our 34-minute conversation – whether he and Sarah Koenig keep up with characters in the story, why they featured Judge Gaul in episode two of the podcast, and one conversation that didn’t make it into Serial.
Cleveland Talks Serial is hosted by ideastream’s Elizabeth Miller and Lawrence Daniel Caswell.
