I was so impressed with this show. I listen to TAL every week and listen to archived podcasts throughout the week. The guests were funny and thoughtful and smart, as always. I was really charmed with the intro word games and 'ransom note' name switcheroo. Dan Savage's reading was funny and heart-breaking at the same time. I would recommend anyone to give this show a try, even if you are not familiar with the radio show. I'm already looking foward to the next one!
