Swoosh! Thing 10

Thing # 10: Add an RSS feed to your Blog

I've added the feed for my favorite radio show 'This American Life', which is about, well - I'll let them explain.....

"usually we just say what we're not. We're not a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. We're not really formatted like other radio shows at all. Instead, we do these stories that are like movies for radio. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun."

and it is........if you like people and their stories and life's twists and turns. My favorite episode would be the show where they taped for 24 hours in an all-night restaurant. The shows are very varied and subject based, and frequently they have authors on, but not plugging their books, just talking about interesting topics or presenting a story........
