Podcast Appearances
Today we're doing something different than usual.
I'm playing old interviews that I did on the program with my parents, which really did change my relationship with them in a fundamental way.
As I said earlier, today's program was originally made as a bonus episode of our show.
Every two weeks or so, we try to put out these bonus episodes for our This American Life partners.
And they're generally behind-the-scenes stuff like what you're hearing today.
Anyway, so we turn now to my dad.
The biggest story that I did with my dad is in an episode.
Again, this is very early in the show.
It's like, what is that, four months after we started on the air.
As I said, this story I'm just going to play straight through.
So when you hear me interrupting tape and stuff like that, that's actually happening in the original story.
We have arrived at Act 2 of our program.
I'm just going to stop this tape right there.
I have three things to say about this tape.
Number one, formerly of Europe,
Number two, of course no appointment is necessary.
