Morning SuperForest

I love public radio – here in the UK I regularly tune into the awesomeness that is Radio 4. As SuperForester Mathew has shown us this week, NPR showcases some incredible music – turns out it also inspires some incredible …enthusiasm ;)

This brought a smile to my face – and I liked the shout out to the BBC at the end.

Love

This American Life

SuperForesters,

This American Life is a weekly, hour long, totally cool radio show (and podcast) on Chicago Public Radio hosted by a cool cat by the name of Ira Glass. The format of the show is this: Every week, a topic is chosen, sometimes something more general, sometimes something related to something that’s going on in America and the world. Common guests include Sarah Vowell and David Sedaris.

Each hour long show is divided into 5 ‘acts’, in which a different subset of the topic and/or a new narrator is highlighted. Each show is never dull — these are real life people, in real life scenarios, and sometimes even dark subject matter is presented in a way that is easy to digest, and sometimes even funny. You come out knowing so much more or feeling so different than you entered.

You can listen to their archive here, and you can check out their website here.

Enjoy,

Chris
