The site, in 2014

An investigative podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig that tells one true story over many episodes, made by the team behind This American Life.

It topped iTunes for weeks and won a Peabody in 2015. Its first season reexamined a 1999 murder case in Baltimore, and it is credited with making true-crime podcasts mainstream; seasons 1 and 2 passed 340 million downloads.

In 2014: The first episode came out on 3 October, introduced by Ira Glass on This American Life, with new episodes each week after that.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
