Review #5 --- NPR This American Life

This last review rounds up the week, or starts the week depending on how you look at it.

My all-time favorite program ever is NPR's This American Life. Life changing people, life changing. I know that listening to NPR is blasphemy for some reason in this very, very red state. People, I am a registered Republican, but I can honestly say I am not of the crazy, tea-party, Sarah Palin-lovin' variety. I am a good steward of the Earth, those around me, all mankind loving, charitable very middle of the road variety. Thus, I can enjoy, appreciate and completely absorb myself into NPR during the work day and nothing is better than Tuesday mornings when This American Life podcast becomes available on the NPR app.



The best way to describe this American Life would be from my dear friend Wikipedia:

"This American Life (TAL) is a weekly hour-long radio program produced by Chicago Public Radio and hosted by Ira Glass. It is distributed by Public Radio International on PRI affiliate stations and is also available as a free weekly podcast. Primarily a journalistic non-fiction program, it has also featured essays, memoirs, field recordings, short fiction, and found footage. The first episode aired on November 17, 1995,[1] under the show's original title, Your Radio Playhouse."

Truly, truly, truly, if you have an hour, an internet connection and a desire to be entertained you definitely have to try this program out...you will be hooked.
