About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "BONUS | M. Gessen on \"The Opinions\"" from Serial Productions Investigates Murder-for-Hire Plot in New Podcast covers a crossover conversation originally aired on The Opinions, in which host M. Gessen has second thoughts about the future and about Allen's place in the family. M. discusses this dilemma with friend Harriet Clark, whose mother, Judy Clark, served 37 years in prison for driving the getaway car in a robbery that led to the deaths of three people.
Harriet explains how the adults in her life gave her the chance to build and maintain a strong relationship with her mother despite the circumstances, and she suggests why M. should extend the same opportunity to Allen's children. The conversation centers on questions of family loyalty, generational responsibility, and how children of people implicated in violent crime can still be given the chance to form their own relationships with them.
