If you listened to Serial first thing this morning and are already bummed out that you have to wait another week for more, here's something to hold you over until the next episode.

Sarah Koenig, the woman who singlehandedly made Thursdays the most exciting day of the week, visited The Colbert Report to talk about what it's like to host iTunes' most downloaded podcast around the world.

Stephen Colbert is very curious about what made the This American Life reporter decide to take on a murder investigation.

"Did you always want to do true crime reporting that people listen to on a treadmill?" he asks her.

As for what to expect from the rest of the coverage of Adnan Syed's case, Koenig remains tight-lipped, so find your fan theories elsewhere.

The last episode of Serial will be released Dec. 18, the same day of the series finale of The Colbert Report. Coincidence? (Probably.)
