Ok...does anyone else listen to this show on NPR? Now I normally hate NPR, I find it to be boring and preachy. But my roommate from last year turned me on to it via the online archives. It features all sorts of stories-- some funny and some extremely moving--based on all sorts of themes. Some of my favorites: - Summer camp - Babysitting - What I Learned from TV There is a story for EVERYTHING. Anthony Rapp even helped with a story about this crazy RENThead who tricked the cast into thinking she was dying. If you don't listen to it, give it a shot. Download or stream live from www.thisamericanlife.orgThe This American Life team has also developed a TV show for Showtime. I don't have Showtime, and I don't plan on getting it any time soon, but the first episode is available to watch online for free. www.sho.com/site/thisamericanlife/video.doThe second story is sorta theater-oriented. Please watch and enjoy. I think we could have some interesting discussions about it.

"Summer Camp" was great too.
