“Honestly this is my favorite podcast ever! I’ve listened to each episode several times throughout the years. I often catch myself laughing in public as I randomly remember episode segments. For those who don’t quite get it, it’s obviously a parody of This American life and not meant to be taken...”Read full review »

“I've listened to all episodes of this podcast at least four or five times.It was so funny yet well-produced. They created a universe that is just begging to be explored. I miss it and wish they would come back. This podcast is so stuffed crust.”

“As another reviewer noted, that parody of the style wears thin pretty quickly, but the stories themselves are actually fairly well crafted .. you should stick with it to really appreciate what they’re doing with the parody - it’s actually more than just the style, there’s some real [and funny]...”Read full review »

“I’m a huge fan of This American Life. I have listened to every episode. That American Life is a fantastic parody of This American Life. It’s very well executed and hilarious. Listen to an episode of That American Life and then an episode of This American Life. You will see just how well done...”Read full review »

“As a parody of “This American Life,” I find this podcast to be intelligent and funny. Many cultural references, that once you get them, are hilarious, e.g., “The Leaf Effect” parodying “The Butterfly Effect.” Yet, that is just one of many cultural parodies within this parody that at times...”Read full review »

“I used to like this. The host’s parody of Ira Glass is pretty spot on. But what happened? The episodes used to come out about twice a month and it’s been more than a year since the last one.”

“A parody (/ˈpærədi/; also called spoof, send-up or lampoon), in use, is an imitative work created to imitate, or comment on an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of satiric or ironicimitation. Could have been fun - this is just boring.”

“Every episode I've heard has induced at least one laughing attack where I just about fell out of my chair. I've never had this happen on a podcast before. Truly funny stuff. Keep up the good work That American Life.”

“...I made the mistake of not realising this was a spoof but once I did I was laughing out loud - got a lot of funny looks on public transport. Also - listen to them in order (which I also didn't do) as there is a link through them.
I can't quite listen the real Ira's "Stay with us" the same again!”

“I have the goofiest smile on my face during every listen. I also laugh a bunch. The Ira Glass impression is brutally on target and the absurd subject matter sets up the shows to their maximum goofiness. Hope they make some new eps.”

“At first I was glad to come across this podcast, being a big fan of "this American life", so I assumed it would be somewhere alongs the same line. It's more like a cheap knock off, the guys voice is unbearable, and breaking, like a teenager going through puberty, I had to stop listening. Just...”Read full review »

The call backs and running jokes are reminiscent of arrested development or parks and rec. very funny and worth a listen. (However, I think you have to have put in...”Read full review »
