This American Life

63Watch it awake.

Often true, always shaped. Stay for the reporting. Notice the score.

The review

The show has been teaching Americans how a story should feel since 1995. The feeling is part of the craft and part of the risk. A person can leave an episode moved and still not know what they were moved to do.

Use it to practice hearing a life that is not yours. Do not use it as the voice that explains your own week.

Journal

Keep This American Life in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 63. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Read-Aloud Revival

76 instead of 63

The Read-Aloud Revival is still a podcast, and it scores 76 instead of 63. What you gain is household: The child is a person being given a language, not an audience.

The eight

8
Industry
The reporting is a trade. Someone went and asked.
6
Household
Houses appear as they are, including the ones that fail.
4
Piety
Irony is the house style. Reverence has to fight for a minute.
7
Courage
They will sit with an uncomfortable fact longer than a speech would.
6
Republic
A neighbor's story, told to a very large room.
6
Temperance
One theme an episode. The pull to the next is real.
7
Truth
Tape is the method. The arrangement of the tape is still an argument.
6
Stewardship
It can teach a house to listen. It can also teach a house to perform its pain.

Song Exploder

65Worth an evening.

Craft, heard in pieces. A house can learn how a record is made.

The review

Each episode isolates one recording and lets the person who made it walk through the parts. The songs themselves are not all fit for a child. The method is. A house can use the method on a record it already trusts, and skip the episodes whose songs it would not play at supper.

Judge the song with the usual eight questions. Use the show to see the work.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

The eight

9
Industry
The subject is the labor inside a song most people only consume.
5
Household
A studio, not a kitchen. The people in the song are sometimes a house and sometimes not.
5
Piety
Attention is a kind of reverence. He does not preach.
6
Courage
Artists tell the unglamorous part, including the doubt.
5
Republic
A public can hear how the thing was built. That is civic in a small way.
7
Temperance
One song. He does not milk a scandal.
8
Truth
You hear the stems. The story can be checked against the sound.
7
Stewardship
It leaves you able to hear better, which is something to hand on.
