For those who don't know, This American Life is a public radio show that is soon debuting a TV version on Showtime. I'm a fan. Anyway, here is a clip I found thought provoking.

TAL is my FAVORITE NPR program Smashing, Ira Glass just rules. The NPR program is now available for download as a weekly podcast.
The most recent ep has a feature by Ira where he discussed he and his wife's guilty pleasure of watching the OC, complete with them singing the theme song together. I immediately thought of my own guilty pleasure and it really made me laugh.
As for the vid segment you referenced, thought provoking indeed. A corollary would be how we "act" online in our relative anonymity...

California ...... California ..... Here's we come .......
lg15 really needs a theme song, too. i don't think of any of lg15 songs to emerge so far (like Dee's lonelygirl) sound like an opening-credits type of thing.
NPR rocks (sorry Slainte, no volvo though). I've heard TAL a few times, its always interesting stuff for non-ADD audiences.

Just got home and was listening to TAL on the way home, the part with the OC theme song (which I had never known before) was hilarious, as was everything I heard basically. Love that Sarah Vowell and her nerdy humour.
