Cheery Greetings to All Those Celebrating the New Year
This American Life
Today's site, PBS Radio's iconic radio program, offers a smorgasbord (accents
omitted) of information, interest, and entertainment. Busy Gentle Subscribers
who rarely get the opportunity to listen to the program live can indulge in
previously broadcast episodes or make arrangements to listen to podcasts in the
future.
"This American Life is a weekly public radio show broadcast on more than 500
stations to about 2.2 million listeners. It is produced in collaboration with
Chicago Public Media ... There's a theme to each episode of This American Life,
and a variety of stories on that theme. ... Probably the best way to understand
the show is to start at our favorites page, though we do have longer guides to
our radio show and our TV show. If you want to dive into the hundreds of
episodes we've done over the years, there's an archive of all our old radio
shows ..." - from the website
Possibly the most popular of all podcasts produced in the US, this perennial
favorite reports on an impressive breadth of topics. Currently featured on the
homepage is the present series dealing with individuals trying to turn
themselves into something else in the metaphorical sense -- a French comedian
trying to make it in the US, and an easy living Manhattan terrier trying to
explore his inner rat catcher. Sidebars beckon with an array of enticing
titles, from Human Error in Volatile Situations to Public Radio Tattoos. Tabs
at the top lead the way to Radio, Podcast, Favorites and Ways To -- Mobile
Apps, Web Archive, and Download, among others.
