Hosted by Ira Glass, This American Life comes to us from WBEZ in Chicago via Public Radio International. "A new kind of radio storytelling," the innovative program "documents and describes contemporary America." Each week the show presents monologues, mini-documentaries, "found tape," and unusual music that explores a specific theme - from fiascoes, Sinatra and conventions, to the job that takes over your life. Host Ira Glass has an uncanny "knack for finding writers and performers whose work hasn't been heard on the radio, and producing their stories alongside his own disarming commentary." Like looking at our lives through a microscope, the segments are intimate and undiluted, often humorous, sometimes disturbing, but always original and engaging. Listeners call it "riveting" and "mesmerizing." Ira Glass simply calls it This American Life. SUNDAYS, 7-8 PM
