Serial, which first launched in 2014, was a podcast of unprecedented popularity. In 12 parts, released weekly, it detailed the 1999 murder of Jae Min lee, assessing the case and subsequent trial of a suspect.

For Season 2 - the first episode of which is available to listen to now - it's taking on Bowe Bergdahl, a US soldier who was held prisoner by the Taliban for almost five years.

After a hero's welcome, Bergdahl was accused of being a traitor, and has been charged by the US military. "Bergdahl has been quiet. He hasn't spoken to the press or done any interviews on TV. He's been like a ghost at the center of a raucous fight," Serial says on its website. "Now, in Season Two, we get to hear what he has to say."

You can download Season 2, Episode 1 - entitled "Dustwun" - here.
