Because NPR > talk radio. And This American Life > anything on the AM dial.
Talk radio is boring. I don’t have any interest in listening to some douche tell me what to think about an issue while trying to sell me gold or non-hybrid seeds or aluminum siding. Besides, The only good thing to come out of left wing talk radio was Rachel Maddow, and I can see her on the teevee now.
This American Life is seriously some of the best journalism I have ever encountered, in any form. It’s a fascinating and extremely informative journey of the mind, every single episode.
