I don't know if many of you are NPR listeners, I don't listen to much NPR myself. But there is one show on NPR that is absolutely captivating. It's called "This american life" They are just stories, about Americans extraordinary and very ordinary. It's very hard to put into words why this show is so great, so magical. http://www.thislife.org/
Check out some episodes for yourself. Some times witty, sometimes sad, some times profound. And now they are making it into a TV show, I'm so very excited. This has the potential to be the best series Showtime has ever put out, what a Coup for them.
