very frustrating
I look forward to this show every week so it's extremely frustrating when American life repeatedly double dips and uses other podcast I've already heard. What is the point of paying for the New York Times audio app so I can get this a "day early" when really I'm not getting it a day early I'm just being fed the same podcast I already heard. Also disappointed by the frequent war stories that take place in other countries; I look forward to the podcast as an escape all week. Hearing war stories is not an escape. While it is interesting and important, it is stressful. And I don't see why it qualifies as a topic that pertains to a show called This American Life. I wish it were another podcast altogether, since it embodies a very different mood and thereby mental space.Read full review »

I was afraid I was going to have to forgo my weekend ritual and miss TAL....having just moved to an area without NPR and being too poor to buy the audio myself. This is an amazing public service you are doing!
