This American Life is my favorite radio program (there's also a television version of the show, on Showtime). TAL did a live taping of the show titled "Return to the Scene of the Crime" on stage in Chicago, and beamed it to theaters across the nation. We were able to watch it at a local theater with Julie and Bill and it was AWESOME. Hosted by Ira Glass, guests of the show included Dan Savage (I actually cried during his piece. He's been a long-time favorite), Starlee Kine (cute as a pair of homemade shoes!), Mike Birbiglia (his piece was so humbly-what a incredible & brilliant human), Joss Whedon (who doesn't love Joss?), among others.

Be sure to listen to the full radio episode podcast (free to download and listen)-when you get to the episode page, just click on the orange link labeled "full episode" under the photo.
