ST. PAUL — With an assist from a Minnesota native, a new podcast from the creators of “This American Life” is a hit.

Former St. Paul resident Emily Condon is the production manager of “Serial,” which re-examines the 1999 murder case of a Baltimore teen.

The month-old podcast has already topped the iTunes charts and garnered listeners from across the globe. Each episode, posted Thursday mornings, has been downloaded more than 800,000 times.

The episodes attempt to address a seemingly endless stream of questions surrounding the murder of Hae Min Lee with further evidence, clues and doubt. One of the biggest mysteries is whether her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, who was convicted of the crime, is actually responsible.

Host and executive producer Sarah Koenig invites listeners to join her as she tries to piece together the complicated puzzle.
