Save the Day on This American Life

Posted by Steven Garrity on - 6 comments

In addition to enjoying a new album each month (March has been Postdata), I’ve also been listening to This American Life.

The first act of the most recent episode, entitled Save the Day, is a remarkable story, well told:

James Spring had hit his late 30s, and found his life utterly unremarkable. He needed to do something big. So James decided to try to rescue two kids who had been kidnapped by suspected murderers, and taken to Mexico.

Agreed - I've been listening to the podcast for a while now too. The story about the australian boy was pretty good too. The other podcast I picked up recently is the Radio Lab one, really interesting stuff.
