If, like me, you listen and enjoy This American Life via the free podcast, please consider making a small donation to them so they can keep it going. TAL is one of the best things on radio, but they don't have it on air here down under, and I know for some of you who are lucky enough to listen to it on the radio it's more convenient to get the podcast.
