"This American Life" on NPR
Does anyone else enjoy that show?
It is damn entertaining most of the time. I highly reccomend it. |

I've always enjoyed what i've listened to, but I don't catch it regularly.

It can be hit or miss
But when it grabs me I have to listen for the whole hour.
I'm surprised no one has tried to copy it, especially in the commercial radio world |

Like I mentioned, I only listen to sports radio. I suppose I could broaden my horizons a bit.

90.1 and 105.3
kuer has a good local talk show, Radio West on at 11 a.m. during the week.
I didn't like NPR at first. The hosts don't yell a lot but I am hooked on it now |

My family and I listen to this American Life almost every Sunday, while we make Sunday dinner. The show has David Sedaris, who might be the single funniest human being ever to tell a story.

I finally got around to listening my boxed David Sedaris collection of books on cd that Mike gave me for Christmas a few years ago. Me Talk Pretty One Day was pretty hilarious. Naked and Barrel Fever were of lower quality, but had their funny moments. I catch This American life whenever I can. Someone gave me a collection of them on cd one year, and the one about the Fiasco got me hooked. |
