I really hope you all enjoyed last week’s top pick: No Such Thing As a Fish, and if you’ve not had a chance to listen yet, definitely give it a go!
Welcome back to Podcast of the Week, it’s week number four and we’re back with…
This American Life.
I first found this podcast because the producers of this show also produce Serial, which is one of my favourite podcasts and was our very first podcast recommendation.
Although very different to Serial, This American Life is told just as beautifully. Each week tells a different story on a variety of different topics. Often researched for years on end the stories are moving, or exciting, or informative or a combination all of these things. The description on the website for this podcast sort of sums it up- ‘there’s lots more to the show, but it’s sort of hard to describe’.
Most episodes are over an hour long, so not a quick podcast for a walk to uni but absolutely prefect to keep you entertained if you are on a long train, car journey or just need a break from work.
…enjoy!
