I love this radio program. It is hard to describe what the show exactly is. Even the shows own web site explains that is has “a hard-to-describe sound”. Basically it is a show where they choose a theme and play a set stories on that theme. What that does not tell you is that the stories are amazing, funny, sad, evocative stories. Sometimes the stories are all of those, all at the same time.

This weeks episode is a rebroadcast of the episode that got me hooked. David Sedaris tells the story, Youth in Asia. Check it out: In Dog We Trust.

They also have produced a number of episodes of a TV show for the showtime network. I was unsure if they would be able to match the quality of the radio program with their television show, but they did. It is amazing! Unfortunately we don’t get Showtime, although it is tempting after watching one episode online.
