I got a boxed set of this show for my wedding which I cherished. Then the show just got lazy and did politics and wars and I couldn’t listen anymore. This American Life, our American life, isn’t just about politics or wars. Politics and wars shouldn’t have had a place in this show. It was our reprieve away from it. I miss this show, the way it was. Everyone is doing war and politics. This was our reprieve.
