So, can I just say right now how much I absolutely love This American Life? I've been listening to it for about a 2 years now after hearing about it from a friend of mine and it has turned into an addiction of mine!
If you haven't heard about TAL before, it's a radio show on NPR. On each episode, they have a theme and tell different stories based on that theme. It's hosted by Ira Glass, who, I have to say, I have a bit of a crush on... and so does just about everyone else who listens to the show, girls and guys alike.
It's great for road trips, which I make frequently back to my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Usually if I'm listening to it in the car and I get to where I'm going, if the show isn't over yet I will wait in my car until the show ends.... it's that good.
I do love NPR in general but I hate catching the show half way through so you can download episodes on iTunes. And if you're a cheapo like me you can stream episodes on your computer and subscribing to the podcast is free too! Plus, one of the main reasons I want an iPhone is because there's a TAL app and you get every episode EVER! So get you're Ira fix ya'll!

ReplyDeleteOk - your radio show just made me cry... Did you listen to the one this week? That kids speech got me choked up.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would love it! It always makes me cry, you're going to be addicted! Which one were you listening to? I'm a little behind because I need to sync my iPod.
