Serial is over, but here is some great geeky Serial material to ease the pain

The final episode of Serial was released today, leaving millions of fans depressed and adrift. Without weekly doses of Sarah, Adnan and Mail Kimp, what’s left to talk about with friends and co-workers? What will we ever tweet about? How will we make it through Thursdays?

Thankfully, Serial fans are a maniacally obsessed bunch who love to create #content. So throw on your Serial Podcast Parody T-shirt and turn up the volume on this mash-up of the Serial theme and Notorious B.I.G.’s “Somebody Gotta Die” because here are the best Serial-related supplementary materials to hold you over until next season.

Comedians Zach Cherry, Paul Laudiero, and Will Stephen, creators of the best Serial parody we’ve seen thus far, released their Season 2 preview today. Stay tuned for Flag Day scandals, calls to a Toyota dealership and tales of sexting in the 1930s.
