Julie Snyder, one of the first producers at This American Life, is the co-creator of Serial and S-Town. Serial Season 3 is out now.\n\n\u201cI am constantly second-guessing myself. I am full of regret and recrimination all the time. I don\u2019t pride myself on it cause it probably goes too far, but in other ways I do feel like I am a person who is very flawed and I make mistakes and I try and learn from them. And I try to be very open to other people\u2019s thoughts and input and everything like that. So to be that open to criticism after season one [of Serial] was rough for being that open because we just got so much attention. I could feel people being like, \u2018Oh, go cry on your bags of money.\u2019 It was huge. I got that, but at the same time, it was hard to ignore.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, First Day Back, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n\n\nThe Longform Podcast Live: The Mastermind book release party with special guests\n\n\nSerial\n\n\nS-Town\n\n\nLongform Podcast #159: Ira Glass\n\n\nLongform Podcast #239: Brian Reed\n\n\nLongform Podcast #273: Zoe Chace\n\n\n[7:20] Courtroom 302: A Year Behind the Scenes in an American Criminal Courthouse (Steve Bogira \u2022 Vintage \u2022 2006)\n\n\n[58:50] Snyder on This American Life\n\n\n[59:05] "Throwing the First Punch" (This American Life \u2022 Mar 1998)\n\n\n[1:11:45] "Ira Glass's Commencement Speech at the Columbia Journalism School Graduation" (Ira Glass \u2022 This American Life \u2022 May 2018)\n\n\n[1:18:10] "Harper High School\u2014Part One" (This American Life \u2022 Feb 2013)\n\n\n[1:18:15] "Harper High School\u2014Part Two" (This American Life \u2022 Feb 2013)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
