Do you ever listen to This American Life? One of my favorite WNYC shows, it is on every Saturday at 11 am.
Sometimes the show just stops me in my tracks and I find myself sobbing while doing the dishes or making scrambled eggs.
The show is so brilliant and so unusual that it can be very hard to describe.
Today (December 15, 2007) there was a story called, Ties That Bind,
about a girl named Sarah, who receives a heart transplant from a boy
her age. Her mother sets off to find out more about the kid who saved
her
daughter’s life.
I won’t say more but I found the story to be very moving. You can hear a pod cast of it here.
I also heard that show, and I sobbed like a baby! It’s a great show.
