This American Life Rocks! December 20, 2004
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This second volume of "the best" of "This American Life" is another gem! Each of these stories is amazing in its own right, and each is a perfect example of what a phenomenal show TAL really is.
Most of these stories are on the humorous side, which is really just one side of the show; however, it's still a well-rounded collection. If you are trying to turn someone on to the show, this is an excellent CD to introduce them to it.
The only thing that I didn't like about the CD was the time between Vols. 1 & 2. Come on, TAL...give us more of the best!
WARNING: Don't listen to this one with a full bladder! November 28, 2004

THe first story alone (about an unfortunate incident involving a squirrel and a couple of rookie policemen) had my husband and I laughing SO hard we collapsed onto the nearest chairs. The rest of the excerpts from THis American Life are equally fun to listen to, but we still think the squirrel story is the topper. If you're taking a road trip, this will definitely keep you awake and its a nice choice for a snowy or rainy afternoon, when you just want to veg out. Excellent!
Good thoughts and worth every dime! April 8, 2004

I recieved this CD when I bellied up to the bar so to speak and became a member of KPCC(public Radio)in California. I paid 120.00 for my member ship and recieved this cd as a thank you...It was worth every dime and I would do it every year if they had one! So at what ever this site is charging..it's a DEAL! But, Join public radio any way!
Take a moment...listen to a story or two... December 13, 2003

I you're familiar with the radio show This American Life, then you know the vibe of this CD. If you're not familiar, you're in for a treat. These stories give you the perfect excuse to turn off the TV, unplug the phone, and do something that we never really do anymore in this fast-paced world: listen to stories. Being a musician, I love the story about forming a band from the classified ads. Tragic and hilarious...been there! Get this CD, you'll really enjoy it.
Perfect for fans of This American Life! November 20, 2003

If you got the first This American Life CD or if you're a regular listener to the show, you'll love these CDs. The stories are quirky and engaging--sometimes funny, sometimes downright weird. My favorite was the one where the guy from The Mekons puts together a random band out of the classifieds, all to do a recording of Elton John's Rocket Man. Classic stuff!
