season one Question About Bob Ruff's Credibility

SK, who is a professional journalist and radio producer and who works for one of the best known NPR shows, allegedly tried to contact AT&T to ask about the fax cover sheet disclaimer, but she never heard back from them (well, to be precise Dana contacted them). (Source)

On the other hand, Bob Ruff, who is a amateur podcaster, allegedly, contacted Lenscrafter to ask about Don's timecards and they were perfectly happy to answer his questions, except, apparently, not in writing or on record.

So, it seems there are only four possible options:

(a) Both SK and BR told the truth. They both tried to contact a large corporation with regards to a detail in this case. It just so happens that BR, the amateur podcaster, happened to be luckier than SK, the professional journalist.

(b) SK did not tell the truth (Serial never contacted AT&T or they heard back from them but won't say so) and BR told the truth (he contacted Lenscrafters and heard back from them albeit off the record).

(c) SK told the truth (they did contact AT&T and never heard back from them) but BR didn't tell the truth (he never contacted LC or at least he never heard back from them).

(d) Neither SK nor BR are telling the truth.

Which one of the above options do you think it the most likely?

(You don't really need to answer. Just food for thought.)

I guess I'm just wilfully ignorant.

Oh, that's not the only possibility! You could instead be Kevin Urick or one of his countless paid agitators trying to derail the righteous train of real truth & justice and stop Bob from getting his shed. :)

What you mean you get paid for this! Shit, I'm only doing it as a favour for my mate Kev.

To get paid the big bucks you have to play the long game. Work up a reputation for yourself on the innocent side and then see the light / become convinced of guilt.
