Sarah Koenig and her Serial co-creator are coming to Boston
Get your fix at Symphony Hall in March.
If you’ve always wanted to hear Serial journalist Sarah Koenig’s voice in person instead of just through your headphones, here’s your chance: Koenig and Serial co-creator Julie Snyder are coming to Symphony Hall on March 30.
The two veteran radio journalists and producers will give a presentation as part of the Celebrity Series of Boston called “Binge-Worthy Journalism: Backstage with the Creators of Serial.’’
When Koenig and Snyder launched season one of Serial in 2014—which followed the 1999 Baltimore murder case of Hae Min Lee, for which then-17-year-old Adnan Syed was convicted—it became the fastest podcast to reach 5 million downloads in iTunes history, according to The Guardian.
At the Symphony Hall event, Koenig and Snyder will take the audience through the creation of the uber-popular series, sharing personal stories that didn’t make it to the airwaves and explaining how they constructed certain episodes.
Both producers worked together previously on NPR’s This American Life; Koenig was a producer for the show for more than 10 years (and even guest-hosted a few episodes), and Snyder is currently the senior producer of This American Life and has been with the program since 1997.
Tickets for the Boston event start at $45 and are available online at celebrityseries.org, by calling CelebrityCharge at 617-482-6661 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or at the Symphony Hall Box Office, 301 Massachusetts Ave., Boston.
