DUSTWUN

Added to our book list, something a little different this time—the second season of a podcast called Serial which delves into the story of Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. soldier who walked off his base in Afghanistan, was captured and held captive for five years by the Taliban, was eventually repatriated in exchange for five Gitmo detainees, and now, at an Army base in Texas, awaits a court martial. The season is entitled DUSTWUN, a military acronym for Duty Status–whereabouts unknown. 

The series, recommended by Pacific Rim Bureau Chief Lynn C Dot, is one of the finest pieces of journalism you’ll ever encounter. The reporting is thorough, impeccably unbiased, compelling. And free. Check it out.
