Episode Reviews

This episode had everything I love about a TAL episode— inspiration, drama, romance, science, and esoterica. I absolutely loved the Birdly segment— like how do they even find out about these stories? And how do they convey them in such a dramatic way? Definitely one of my favorite recent episodes. I wonder if the bird sounds during Ira’s segues were NA/Chicago birds, as discussed in the segment about birds in movies?

I have been listening sometimes, to this American Life for a long time. I listent to the Daily, NYTimes podcast. And I have listened to some sports podcasts. It seems to me that Ira Glass has brianwashed the easily found podcasts in the US with your style. And yet, where's the acknowledgement? Is there a secret acknowledgement? Have you gotten some wall placket or a placebo?
