Serial Podcast Season Two and CIA Narrative Control
The second season of the "Serial" podcast focuses on Bowe Bergdahl, utilizing 25 hours of recorded conversations between Bergdahl and screenwriter Mark Boal. The hosts argue that Boal, known for "Zero Dark Thirty," is a collaborator with intelligence agencies. They suggest "Serial" is being used as a "throughput mechanism" to establish an official, sanitized narrative of the Bergdahl story for the public.
