Scene from This American Life Scene from This American Life This American Life Pictures On "This American Life," Wisconsin convicts tell about their almost-successful, MacGyver-esque escape attempt using dental floss; two fighters in Memphis—guys who lose at boxing for a living—square off against each other in a match neither can afford to lose; a Bulgarian man in Rhode Island relives the Cold War every day, on his front lawn; a young Iraqi embarks on a road trip to allow Americans to ask him anything they want about his people and the war – to poignant and hilarious results. "This American Life" tells all these stories, plus woodpeckers, horses, World War II replicas, teenage boys, an epic mother-son battle, and even a brief encounter with Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
"This American Life" is produced by host and executive producer Ira Glass and the same team that creates the award-winning, weekly public radio show of the same name. More than a decade after the radio show of "This American Life" first went on the air, it's more popular than ever, with 1.7 million listeners on more than 500 stations around the country, and another 400,000 people downloading it every week, making it the number one podcast in the country most weeks. Nominated for Emmy Awards in directing, cinematography and writing in its first season, "This American Life" brings the radio show's storytelling to television. Glass and his producers worked again with director Chris Wilcha and cinematographer Adam Beckman to make the second season of stories even more ambitious than the first. Each of the six, half-hour episodes has a theme that touches on all the stories in it: Underdogs, Going Down in History, Two Wars, Escape, Scenes from a Marriage, and John Smith. Glass guides audiences through each episode with the same direct, informal style that made the radio version of "This American Life" a hit, and has helped it win nearly every major award in broadcasting.
