Did you know you can now download the current episode of This American Life for free? I think I’ve been able to download the last four episodes. You have to get each episode while it’s current, because then they go back into the archives and you have to pay to download them. BUT, I just discovered that you can listen to the archives for free and so I have been doing just that. At work yesterday I was listening to episode #298 called Getting and Spending, and act two called “That Guy” was so funny. It was talking about trying to avoid being “that guy” that you hate. Whether it be loud talkers on cell phones, or your own parent, who is “that guy” you never want to become, OR “that guy” you realized you have become against your own wishes?
