I once pulled a sleeping bag into my home office so I could keep listening to archived eppisodes of This American Life on my PC until I fell asleep. The stories evoke a wide range of emotions and always take me to unexpected places. They are delivered from such a sensitive point of view, that aims to unfold the story rather than weigh in on its content. If I could, I would deduct one point of one star - for a score of 4.8 - for that Mouse cartoon. It seemed out of place and was disturbing; the rest of the audience seemed to concur. You will laugh and cry and be really glad you went. Take a friend, this is to be shared and to be revisited in later conversations.
