This American Life

I am a new convert to a wonderful radio show called "This America Life" by Chicago Public Radio. Although I do not live in Chicago, I get the fantastic and intriguing stories weekly via their podcast.

Each week, Ira Glass hosts stories of often over-looked bits and pieces of life in America. Routinely quirky, always fascinating, it is simply the best show on radio.

There are so many great shows, but I would suggest starting with the episode that spent 24 hours in a 24 hour diner in Chicago simply telling the stories of the people that walked through the doors.

There is also a television show, which I have not seen, but I am sure it is great!
