Soup forgot his password Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 You gotta love how NPR runs a story, is the only one to fact check it, and then calls themself out on it so everyone knows they fucked up. Most other publications would be done with a story after publishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanfullofretards Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/361/fear-of-sleep?act=5 This goes along perfectly with a thread I made awhile back about having death panic attacks while laying down to go to sleep.

Sleazeside Heights Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 absolutely love this show. they have a different topic about the most random, but interesting and relevant things. This show is relaxing, but gets my mind gears going at the same time. Listened to the one about"quitting." I cannot believe how much I related to the first guest. definitely cool they touch on things most people don't talk about, but we deal with all the time. rad shit. wish there were full eps on youtube or something. the website is great, but limited. i want more! shout out to ira glass.

Walid Jumblat Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 This American Life retracts the story about Apple workers in China. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/blog/2012/03/retracting-mr-daisey-and-the-apple-factory Can't stand cats that fabricate shit about exploitation in developing countries. It takes the focus off real events, spreads doubt about the actual suffering that does occur and causes compassion fatigue in the developed world. Dude looks like he could do with a few months on a Foxconn line to lose some of that developed world obesity he's stylin there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleazeside Heights Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 that's all of them? if they do one a week there should be 52 for each year. i think it's just a selected choice. there's got to be more i feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanfullofretards Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 They don't make a new one every week, they often repeat ones they've had, or they mash up different segments to make a new theme. Here... Almost 500 episodes http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives#2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanfullofretards Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The segment I listened to this week by Tig Notaro about Taylor Dayne was fucking hilarious Go to Act Two... http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/464/invisible-made-visible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
