“That’s our show, unexpected stories that happen to be true.” That’s how host Ira Glass describes longtime NPR weekend staple This American Life. After 12 years of radio shows from WBEZ-Chicago Public Radio, the show comes to Showtime this month (3/22 at 10:30 EST). I am looking forward to it, judging from the material that the show has covered in its lifetime and from the trailer. It’s going to be interesting to see how these types of stories transition to film. I often go to the Web site and listen to past shows, and have had several people gathered around my Mac, listening intently to the “First Day” episode Squirrel Cop; it’s available streaming from the Showtime Web site.
