After about 15 years of producing some of the best public radio content in North America CBC has finally decided to jump on-board and start broadcasting This American Life in Canada.
While this is definitely a step forward for the CBC, they have definitely not gone quite far enough. Instead of having the show air at an hour when most people might actually listen (and taking a poor quality show off the air) they have decided to clump it in with their late night filler content (most of which comes from international sources). Bummer.
Anyway, This American Life is definitely worth listening to. I have been listening been listening to the show regularly for just over ten years now and have to say that it is one of the best radio shows I have had the pleasure of hearing.

Tell me more about the radio show. What type of content is it? A serial, commentary, music?
The content is varied, though typically of general interest. For instance, the most recent episode is about money. An episode a few weeks ago dealt with humorous Christmas stories.
