#203: Recordings for Someone
This was the very first episode of This American Life that I ever heard, and let me tell you, randomly switching my car radio over to WABE only to hear some seemingly deranged woman ranting about The Little Mermaid was quite a strange experience. I definitely had a driveway moment with this one, and I've been stuck on the show ever since (though, admittedly, it's rare that an episode lives up to the sheer weirdness of that particular segment).

I was recently introduced to this through my obsession with everything Mike Birbiglia, so I went to see This American Life Live in theaters. I can't say how his story compares to others in the whole series overall, but I thought it was really good. I thought the whole thing was really good, so now I'm trying to listen to more of it.
