This American Life



I haven't until recently discovered the incredible in-depth reporting of NPR host Ira Glass and his program This American Life. It's a truly unique, rich, and heartwarming program that centralizes around one simple theme of life. Every radio episode is very honest and upfront with the stories provided by the chosen interviewees for the program. It's a breath of fresh air compared to all the lousy shock jocks on mainstream radio these days.

If you are interested in listening to almost all the episodes, you can simply go to www.thislife.org and choose any episode to stream for free. There is also a fantastic short 6 part television series which aired on the Showtime cable network earlier this year which you can purchase on iTunes for only $11 (totally worth it).
