Worth Listening To


Yesterday I listened to the latest installment of This American Life. The entire hour-long episode was devoted to a fascinating story called, "The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar."

I'm not going to assign this as required listening, but I think it would be worth your while to check out for a number of reasons. Here are few that quickly come to mind:
  1. It's an amazing and mysterious story that draws the listener in
  2. It looks at a single event and the consequences of that event from multiple perspectives
  3. Excerpts from interviews with members of three different families are presented so that the story unfolds in an unpredictable and thought provoking way
If you listen to the Bobby Dunbar story and wish to share any thoughts please do so either in the comments of this blog post or in an audio journal entry on the Posterous.
