Ah, radio shows. I remember waiting for my weekly installment of a number of shows. And thinking about how badly it sucked when I missed one.

That's odd. They created VCRs for TVs so you could do timed recording. I wonder why they never did the same for radio? I would have loved having something to record the Thursday night 2am-4am segment on a local station when they did techno/acid/house mixes. But I was rarely up that late, and, oddly enough, that sort of music puts me to sleep.

It does seem odd for them to transition. I would think online streaming audio would be the obvious step, not TV. (perhaps they already do that?)

NPR is carried by Sirius (the satellite radio outfit).
This American Life's website has Real Audio formatted episodes available for stream also.
P.s. Is Ira Glass gay? I could care less if he is but was just curious if his slightly effeminate tone was a product of his sexuality or possibly just a "whiney new yorky" thing going on.

If you could care less, perhaps you should?

I remember listening to the old tv shows on NPR when we were driving home from vacation. They had the coolest sound effects.

I'd like This American Life better, but I just can't listen to that nasally monotonous Ira Glass anymore. TV might be cause to introduce a new host, who might be able to draw me back to the show.

Whoops. Sorry. You see how grating Ira Glass is? I screwed up my un-italic just thinking about his voice. It's like nails dragging on a chalkboard

So, is he or isn't he?
I think that he is luscious and I entertain a warped fantasy that I'll meet him one morning while crossing Michigan Avenue ... hmmm, sounds like a "This American Life" episode :)

Maybe you should ask him?

What does it matter? With that voice, no one, male or female, 's going to do him anyway.

Can you imagine the sounds he must make while approaching orgasm?

Imagine:
(total montone)

oh . . . that's great . . . this reminds me of . . . the time . . . when I was . . . a small boy . . . oh . . . I . . . thought of . . . oh . . . oh . . . my grandma's bloomers . . . oh . . . there's an idea . . . for . . . oh . . . my . . . oh . . . next . . . oh . . . grandma . . . oh . . . show . . . OH!.

Sound of lover, male or female, wretching.

Ira: (adjusting glasses) I wonder if this has happened to anyone else?

Nope Ira Glass is not gay. Here is an article in his own words
