What This American Life makes

Topics true stories, narrative journalism, personal stories, current events, cultural commentary

Each week we choose a theme. Then anything can happen. True stories that unfold like little movies. Personal stories with funny moments, big feelings, and surprising plot twists. Newsy stories that try to capture what it’s like to be alive right now. It’s the most popular weekly podcast in the world, and winner of the first ever Pulitzer Prize for a radio show or podcast. Hosted by Ira Glass.
