At this point in my Podcasts! series we enter the realm of NPR related podcasts. There are actually a few podcasts put out which I have found to be quite enjoyable. We will begin with This American Life. The only really good way I have ever found to describe This American Life is as the Readers Digest of podcasts. What do I mean by this? Basically it is an eclectic collection of stories. Every week it is generally some nice and timeless topic which is covered. It is always covered in such a way that anyone can approach it and still find it interesting. So I recommend this podcast to anyone out there looking for something simple and informative to fill some time. One note is that this podcast does tend to sway bit to the liberal side. This though is not to bad so far I have only felt the need to skip one episode due to these opinions. If you are curious it was an episode about guns which was put out when the media was being flooded with anti-gun propaganda and I really did not need to hear the same thing from yet another place.
