This Canadian's New Favourite Radio Show...

...is 'This American Life'. Thanks Mitch. In case you don't know about this hour-long radio show, and really, unless Mitch harasses you likewise with good recommendations and, I'll say it, some pretty decent sexual innuendo (although I can think of at least one good place where he should start directing the latter), maybe you don't know about the show. It's fair, you don't live in Chicago. And I don't, either, and neither does Mitch, but somehow he caught on to this and caught me onto it and I'm very glad he did. They run with good, interesting themes and get together good interesting stories and they're human and they turn heads. I highly recommend it. For the patient, their podcast updates every week with a new ep, but they don't stay free forever. I've heard four episodes, all outstanding. There. I'm recommending something that isn't put out by the CBC. I'm so totally impartial.

'This American Life'. From Chicago, playing everywhere.
