did i mention how i'm obsessed with This American Life? i just saw Ira Glass for the first time in a youtube video, and wow, he's cute! now i'm totally in love with him!

i only have about 40-50 episodes of TAL, and i want to listen to them all the time, but at the same time i want to ration them. i'm hoping more will somehow find their way to my

Have you listened to The Greatest Love Story of the 20th Century? It's the last chapter of http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=247
and it makes me want to cry every time I listen to it, which is often.

It's Sarah Vowell, and it's about Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Doesn't really get much better than that.

no, i actually don't have that episode. if you want to share it, i'd be forever grateful!!

there are so many episodes that make me cry...

I only have that section of the episode saved on my computer. It's an 11MB file, but maybe J has your address and I can send you a cd. I think that everyone in the country should listen to that chapter. :)

You know their podcast is free now, right?

[assiram]

yeah, but you can only download it for 1 week, then its gone. i only have the most recent 40-50 episodes. if i don't have it yet, i can't download it for free unless they replay it some week.

you don't need to send me a cd- you can use a free electronic file-sharing website like yousendit.com or megaupload.com. then its free and easy! but if you don't feel comfortable doing that, its totally cool! i'm sure i'll find a way to get it. i think i can purchase single episodes from their web site.

That's so weird. I get the podcast, but they don't go away after a week - I've had them saved for a couple of months. I just uploaded that file to yousendit, so hopefully it worked. :)

oh-- i have some older ones. i will send them to you! i have a lot of hours, i can't remember but maybe 100 hours of older episodes.

Also, do you guys know about the Radio Labs podcast? mannatunkle, I keep meaning to ask you about it, since you listen to stuff at the gym. I think you'd like them.

[assiram]
