THIS NEW AMERICAN LIFE
Since 1995, Ira Glass has hosted "This American Life" from Chicago's WBEZ radio station and sustained the art of storytelling as an entertaining medium. The hour-long radio show usually features three to four stories based on a central theme and listening is one of the best ways to spend an hour during your entire week. "This American Life" is debuting in a televised format this month on Showtime. Check the show's page here and watch its introductory trailer. I wonder if adding a visual element will significantly change the impressions given by 'true stories from everyday people.'
For those unwilling or unable to tether themselves to a radio on the weekend, a podcast subscription is available to "This American Life" via iTunes or one can download episodes at the show's site here.
