Just showin' the love to Ira Glass and the beauty that is "This American Life" from WBEZ Chicago, PRI, and NPR.

I have only seen a small fraction of them. I feel lucky that there are so many shows out there to listen to yet..

avalon says:

1) I first heard it in either very late '98 or early '99.

2) I just started going through the archives from the beginning in '95. I noticed there are some that don't have the options to listen or even buy them. I wonder if there were sound quality issues with those.

I started listening in the late nineties. Over the past 6 months, I have listened to all of the episodes. Now, I am always disappointed when their is a replay weekend.

avalon says:

I am not a happy camper cuz I don't have Showtime and have no plans to get it. Hoping the tv show is available for download via itunes!

PS. Ever since I heard that quote on the last show I can't figure out if I'm a hipster know it all or a normal person. LOL

Okay, I just went to Showtime's website and found the link where you can ask questions and submit feedback. If inclined, please go there and ask them to offer the new TAL show on itunes.

posted Mar 23


Ryan says:

I hope they make it downloadable from iTunes too. If they do they'll probably charge for it though unless they do it like a video podcast. Odds are though, SHO will make you pay. You could always go the torrent route...

avalon says:

I'd be okay with paying $1.99 an episode like itunes charges for any other show. Oddly, no one I know who listens to TAL subscribes to Showtime. So far, none of us is willing to subscribe just for TAL purposes.

Ryan says:

I suppose the reason it will be on SHO is because of the content or maybe they are the only ones who would give them a show. I'll be interested to see if they can drum up enough content to do both a radio and TV show...

I love that quote. Especially coming from the O.C., which some would say is a fascinating show about ordinary people.

I hope it shows up on iTunes. We don't have showtime here, and I can't wait for the DVD to come out.

rachel lynne says:

I'm pretty sure you can watch the first ep of the show on the TAL website.
