This writer is very well spoken and uses evidence in almost every claim that he or someone else has said. This has given the writer ethos and a great sense of credibility to the author. By stating facts the author is also building logos within this passage, things that were actually said. Then the author is allowed to give their own personal opinion to the evidence as long as it it logical to the reader, which this author does well at. This author seems to be from my understanding a Scholarly source from the how the information is presented.

I believe the author made his claim very easy to understand. He seemed to know that using his claim as his title was a advantage to attracting readers. I noticed that it is a title that really hooks you and makes you want to read it. Also Serial is now a well know name in the podcast audience, which is something people can recognize. With the title containing "I'm not a real detective" contains interest to a title that seems to have some drama to the passage.
