Abstract
TPC scholarship about podcasting has much to gain from more thoroughly engaging with the social justice turn in the field. To demonstrate the significance of podcasting as a site for social justice research in TPC, this article examines the true crime podcast Serial Season 1. This study illustrates how Serial appears to seek justice but actually employs a journalistic notion of objectivity to advance a white supremacist agenda.
