Since John worked at an NPR affiliate for eight years, we&#8217;re well acquainted with the wonderful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisamericanlife.org\/About_Radio.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">radio version<\/a> but we&#8217;ve just gotten the first disc of the Showtime TV series.<br \/>\nIra Glass is a spectacular story teller. I don&#8217;t know if his approach is the same for television, but for radio, he went into the studio unscripted and just talked about each of the segments he was introducing. He&#8217;s so comfortable with this improvisational style that the effect is that he&#8217;s just talking to you.<br \/>\nOne beautiful story from the TV show is about a woman living in a senior citizens community writing her first screenplay, casting her retiree neighbors and working with a filmmaker to actually produce her movie. It appears to transform everyone involved.<br \/>\nShowtime seems to offer the video <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sho.com\/site\/thisamericanlife\/previous_episodes.do?episodeid=127171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on its Web site<\/a>, but it&#8217;s not working tonight. If you&#8217;re interested, I hope you&#8217;ll check back later &#8212; or you can watch it via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netflix.com\/Movie\/This_American_Life_Season_1\/70079686\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Netflix<\/a>.<br \/>\nIn the meantime, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisamericanlife.org\/TV_Episode.aspx?clip=1&amp;episode=5&amp;#videoTop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watch a short promo<\/a>.
