This American Life (TAL, as fans call it) is the highlight of my radio week. If you are frequent NPR listener, you know that each week Ira Glass and his motley crew of contributors put on a sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always heartfelt production. Ira knows how to tell a story. Narration mixes with live interview clips and background noise. The result is a gripping hour long program that is as engaging as a movie.
