it's a segment from an old episode of TAL that they just reposted in their feed. the whole episode is 20 short stories in an hour instead of their typical 3, and this one is made by Maine teenagers in juvie doing important investigative journalism about the pudding in their cafeteria. incredibly funny and charming.

Yes I know I’m recommending the granddaddy of all podcasts but you don’t get to be a legend for no reason. Really fascinating and revealing story about the opioid crisis but told in a way that’s an absolute triumph of storytelling. Still remember where I was when I gasped as the full-circle moment. Ira and the gang still got it.

📻I laugh out loud and tear up during almost every episode, and there are more than 800. What other piece of media can you say that about? Plus Ira Glass and his iconic vocal fry.

i’ve never been so struck by the sheer love for knowledge of the staff at this american life quite like this. it’s messy, it’s outdated, they occasionally refer to dawn by her deadname, but there’s a beautiful innocence to it.
here is a group of cis men approaching concepts they have ZERO language and understanding of, but they have such an empathetic approach to who is essentially a small town pariah.
the language used might be harsh, but the decadent and outrageous and loving portrayal of dawn goes so far to say that to understand one another we really do just need to fucking LISTEN!!!

🎢its the best way to consume media. DONT show me a trailer DONT let me read the flap on the inside of the novel DONT tell me there’s even an alien in it. Dont tell me what it’s about just be like “it’s good you should check it out”
