While most subscribers to the Scout Report may have heard of Chicago Public Radio's own "This American Life" radio program, those who have not may truly appreciate an introduction to their delightful website. Since the show debuted in 1995, it has garnered a great deal of critical acclaim, both for its straight-ahead approach to crafting a narrative and for its diverse set of guest commentators, which include Sarah Vowell and David Sedaris, among others. Visitors to the site can learn about the show's host, Ira Glass on the "About Us" section, then proceed to the "Favorites" area to get a sense of what the show is all about. Some of the episodes featured here include the story of the people who come in and out of Chicago diner in a 24-hour period and the rather complex story that surrounded a yacht that supposedly belonged to Adolf Hitler. Of course, visitors can listen to all of these programs here in their archive, along with many others.
