TCU JOHN V. ROACH HONORS COLLEGE 16
Fogelson
Honors Forum
October 26, 2016
The Fogelson Honors Forum is an
annual community event established
through a gift from the estate of Buddy
Fogelson and his wife Greer Garson.
The forum brings renowned speakers,
eminent scholars and professionals
to campus.
The College welcomed the Peabody
Award-winning creators of the
Serial podcast, Sarah Koenig and
Julie Snyder, for the 2016 Fogelson
Honors Forum. Their presentation,
“Binge-Worthy Journalism,” provided
a behind-the-scenes look into the
creation of the acclaimed podcast,
which has been downloaded more than
175 million times, making it the most
listened-to podcast in history. Serial
allowed Koenig, a former reporter,
and Snyder, a former radio host, to
utilize their narrative and investigative
journalism skills to report an in-depth
true crime story.
Prior to the forum, the College held
a three-part dinner series called
“Inside Serial: Our Fascination with
the Podcast,” which gave students the
chance to engage in discussions and
connect the podcast to larger issues.
The topics were “Serial and Memory,”
“Serial and Criminology,” and “Serial
and Binge-Worthy Journalism.”
“Artistry creates
intimacy, which
creates empathy.
That’s what takes
a story from
interesting to
meaningful.”—Julie Snyder,
producer of NPR’s “Serial” podcast and guest at the
2016 TCU Fogelson program “Binge-Worthy Journalism”
