Thursday evening I went to see a live broadcast of This American Life at the local theater. Where they were beaming it in via satellite in full HD glory. As some of you may know they recently adapted the popular NPR program into a TV series for Showtime, so they presented this broadcast to promote their second season. Of course I don't have cable, so I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD, but after watching the first season on Netflix instant playback (best thing ever!) and seeing the story previews at this broadcast it looks like it will be worth the wait.
For those of you who don't know what This American Life is, all I can say is start listening to the old shows off their website and/or start watching the TV show. It my be one of the most addicting programs ever made, especially if you love reality TV. However, TAL features stories about every day people and their experiences in life, so it lacks the beautiful people and cat fights, but no less entertaining.
