radio

I've been listening to This American Life for several years now. It's somewhat of a Sunday morning tradition: I wake up around 9:45 am, turn on the radio and wait for This American Life to hit the airwaves at 10 am.
If you've never heard This American Life, it's rather difficult to explain what the show is. It isn't a typical talk-radio show, it's not a news program and you won't hear listeners calling in. I suppose the show's website says it best: "We do...stories that are like movies for radio. There are people in dramatic situations where things happen to them."
This American Life is carried by nearly 500 public radio stations so chances are, you can pick the show up in your area. You can also listen to past programs (for free, btw) by checking out the website. Good stuff...
