This week’s episode of This American Life (although a rerun) was especially sad, being that it was all about hospitals. Hearing the story of 14-year-old Brent, burned over 85 percent of his body, fall in love with his nurse made me want to cry.Not that I want to say anything bad about this amazing radio program, but I did hear once that host Ira Glass has a tendency to hire lots of young, young women.
I do have a friend who works at WBEZ in Chicago and who will soon be producing(?) his very own program. Until then, however, you can just hear his voice by typing “Jason” into their search engine.
As long as I’m on the subject of enlightening entertainment, does anyone have any idea when the next season of The Real World begins?
