Album Description
2-CD collection of the smartest and funniest show on the radio
This American Life is one the most popular yet most unusual programs on radio today, airing on public radio stations all across the country. Each week listeners tune in to hear riveting stories that explore the highs and lows of the human condition.
Host Ira Glass and the staff of This American Life selected some of their favorite segments for the This American Life: Stories Of Hope And Fear 2-CD set. Featuring segments by bestselling writer and humorist David Sedaris (Naked), Comedy Central's Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman and many others, this eclectic anthology addresses topics ranging from gender reassignment to karaoke comedy, with over two hours of alternately hilarious and heart-breaking spoken performances set against a hip indie-rock and electronica musical background. Includes music by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead, Calexico, Morcheeba, Mogwai, Tortoise and others.

If you enjoy This American Life on public radio, you will enjoy this collection of stories. My daughter is a teenager interested in writing. We listened to this collection during a long car trip and it was time well spent together.
great worth getting June 29, 2008

I love This American Life. I have season one and I wanted to hear more of this radio show. I use to live in Chicago and moving back by the end of the year-i can't wait to hear them all the time. It's the best radio show around. I really like the stories that go with this CD. This is worth getting!!! Support this show.
 Missed the mark. March 23, 2008

I am a big fan of This American Life and look forward to listening to it every week. With so many stories to choose from I'm afraid they simply missed the mark with this collection. The title was misleading, "Hope" was absent. Some stories were actually disturbing. I'd skip this one. Instead I highly recommend: Lies, Sissies, and Fiascoes: The Best of This American Life.

I began listening to "This American Life" late last summer when grad school aged daughter introduced me to the wide world of podcasting!! I love the juxtaposition of your guests, the topics, ranging from comedic to heartrendering grief. the fact that these slices of life happen to ordinary people that are living down your street, working in your neighborhood stores , hopitals and police stations simply confounds me with every story I hear. Presidential contenders should be required t listen to hours of these shows, and meet some the people behind the stories, and then maybe, they will finally understand who are the real American voters.
