Ira Glass for President!

Remember This American Life? The NPR radio show that introduced the world to the original hipster, Ira Glass and wonderful authors like David Sedaris? Well, every so often when I'm cleaning my apartment on the weekends I'll go onto the website and listen to several full episodes in a row to catch up. They're engaging, humorous, touching, and informative.

Recently the show produced two episodes about the economic crisis and they are so comprehensive in explaining exactly, in simple terms, what happened and why. It's immensely helpful and I really hope that you all listen:
