Disaster Explained

It has been the most downloaded podcast on iTunes for months, if not years, and now I know why. This American Life with Ira Glass is an exceptional, well-produced hour-long program that is, by its own admission, difficult to describe. Last Sunday, I listened to the program for the first time as it brilliantly explained the current mortgage situation. The humorous and down-to-earth storytelling style draws the listener in. The next thing I knew, I had come to understand the housing crisis. I highly recommend This American Life, usually heard Sundays on public radio.
