Season 2 of This American Life TV show starts on Sunday but because of my job I have already seen the season premiere and it is really quite amazing, something that could not have been done on the radio show. Good work, TAL - looking forward to another amazing TV season!
If you are not yet a fan of This American Life you will be. This is the weekly radio show (now podcast, and soon to be TV show !) where Ira Glass brings you amazing and true tales from Sara Vowell, David Sedaris, John Hodgman, Julia Sweeney and so many other great storytellers. The best episodes give you that feeling of sitting on a barstool listening to your most entertaining friend spin a yarn. Sometime laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes dramatic or sad I almost always find myself engrossed. When I first heard it on the radio in DC (6 years ago, maybe?), I would stay home on Saturday evening in order to make a cassette tape recording to send to my parents in Virginia, where it was not yet syndicated. But you don't have to do that because we got new fangled technology to go with our old fashioned storytelling now!!
