(Summary adapted from official website)

This American Life is a weekly public radio show produced by Chicago Public Media and distributed by Public Radio International. This American Life also the co-producers, with NPR News, of the economics podcast and blog Planet Money. And a half dozen stories from the radio show are being developed into films.

The radio show and TV show follow the same format. There’s a theme to each episode, and a variety of stories on that theme. It’s mostly true stories of everyday people, though not always. There’s lots more to the show, but it’s sort of hard to describe.

Our political civil war and its consequences: a special pre-election episode.
