This American Life Preview



Above: a segment from the new television version of This American Life, which premiers on Showtime March 22nd. The animator, as I'm sure you can recognize, is Chris Ware.

In case you missed it, here's our interview with Julie Snyder, This American Life's senior producer. Julie talks about the process of adjusting to a new medium.

Got to see that as part of the TAL tour, in LA last week. Plus, we heard a John Hodgman story that didn't make it on the radio show. Score!

Thank you for calling people like me a-holes for not liking This American Life on JJ-Go. I think the show is fast becoming the Mr. and Mrs. Smarty Pants show wherein you play the lady (the lusty Mrs. Smarty Pants). Keep it up!

Sweet! Has Chris Ware ever done animation before? This was really good. And he got in the requisite ChrisWare Quiet Despair Moment when they showed the beat-up kid's POV of the airplane flying overhead.
