This American Life for April 01, 2008
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "The Audacity of Government"
We've noticed a trend in a number of actions taken lately by the United States government. Tiny things, things you probably haven't heard of, but with big implications. Harassing widows. Defying a century-old and utterly benign treaty—with Canada! So we've decided to spend an hour admitting and talking about the fact that everyone knows is true: America's become a jerk.
And yes the always illuminating Jack Hitt will do some of this talking
This American Life is an award-winning critically acclaimed weekly program describing and documenting contemporary American life. Each week a theme is chosen, and host Ira Glass and a variety of writers and performers share stories in a range of styles: monologues, documentaries, short radio plays, “found recordings,” and original works for radio. Music underscores many stories.
