This Repeating American Life

Posted on February 9, 2008 by Bob

Just a heads-up: last year’s "Quiz Show" episode of Ira Glass’s This American Life is repeating this week, including a very brief chat with yours truly in the wake of Prisoner of Trebekistan.

It’s a free listen on the TAL website this week.

Next week, Ira takes an inside look at the writers of The Onion.  Now that’s an episode I’m looking forward to.

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
