ReplyDeleteI know this isn't particularly related to your post (which, btw, I'm relieved to hear my messy desk isn't slowing me down!), but I just read in the Washington Post that Showtime has ordered six episodes of "This American Life" on their channel. You can watch the first episode at www.sho.com/thisamericanlife
