Radio Brings Great Learning to Portable Electronic Devices

I've long thought that This American Life (by WBEZ Public Radio in Chicago) provides an incredible opportunity for students to better understand how different issues affect real people. On face value, Economics, Business, Psychology, Sociology, Education, Science, Literature, Poetry...all are represented in one of the best radio shows ever created. All current shows, and most of the past shows (if not all) are available from their archives.

Note: I've heard the host of This American Life, Ira Glass, is a fan of RadioLab (from WNYC in New York). I figured if my favorite radio host likes something, I should check it out. These two shows have got to be the best information/education shows on radio. Check out RadioLab's show on the evolution of reproduction...very funny and very informative.
