This American Life has returned to Showtime, which I don't get, but wish I did, because the screeners I've watched of the show are really compelling viewing. (Of course, I could always go ahead and buy season one from iTunes, but that'd mean frittering away a whole month's worth of YBNBY ad revenue).

As with last year, they've commissioned my favorite comic artist, Chris Ware, to create an animated section for one of the shows, and once again, it's superb. If Ware were to turn his hand to a full length feature in this style, I'd predict it may well be oscar-worthy.
