Miles Davis for President: This American whaa?

This American whaa?

Ira Glass explains storytelling on video.

I mock This American Life from time to time, but that simply because I can't listen to an entire episode without losing my emotional shit.

For example, act four of this episode ("Kid Logic") is just... the saddest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I sat in my car, in the parking lot of the grocery store and just bawled over it.

Stupid This American Life.

Also: the Michael Chabon story that is act three of that episode ("Werewolves in their Youth" from his book of the same name) ain't half bad, either.

Another excellent example of why This American Life is the best ever. And yes, act four certainly made my list of "saddest things of all time."
