Indoor soccer ended on Saturday, and the spring outdoor season doesn’t begin until April 2 at the earliest, so I have some extra time on my hands. My Monday ritual of carpools, magazines, and podcasts has been set aside for a couple of weeks. Thankfully, I caught Friday’s “This American Life” broadcast on the radio, and I loved it – especially Ira Glass’ segment about television (who knew he was a fan of the OC?). As iTunes only offers the current show as a free podcast, I urge you to download it and listen. And if you’re a Showtime subscriber, the television version of TAL premieres on the 22nd. I saw one segment, about Chance the bull, and really enjoyed it, but the radio show is sublime.
