Does anyone else enjoy that show?

It is damn entertaining most of the time. I highly reccomend it.

I've always enjoyed what i've listened to, but I don't catch it regularly.

Frank Ryan · 10-05-2006, 06:26 PM

But when it grabs me I have to listen for the whole hour.

I'm surprised no one has tried to copy it, especially in the commercial radio world

On what frequency is NPR available in SLC?

Like I mentioned, I only listen to sports radio. I suppose I could broaden my horizons a bit.

kuer has a good local talk show, Radio West on at 11 a.m. during the week.

I didn't like NPR at first. The hosts don't yell a lot but I am hooked on it now

My family and I listen to this American Life almost every Sunday, while we make Sunday dinner. The show has David Sedaris, who might be the single funniest human being ever to tell a story.

Sedaris is hilarious. I like Scott Carrier and Sara Vowell too

I

I finally got around to listening my boxed David Sedaris collection of books on cd that Mike gave me for Christmas a few years ago. Me Talk Pretty One Day was pretty hilarious. Naked and Barrel Fever were of lower quality, but had their funny moments.

I catch This American life whenever I can. Someone gave me a collection of them on cd one year, and the one about the Fiasco got me hooked.

This American Life for showtime, can't say I like that idea

I'll be curious to see how it comes out
