This Repeating American Life

Just a heads-up: last year's "Quiz Show" episode of Ira Glass's This American Life is repeating this week, including a very brief chat with yours truly in the wake of Prisoner of Trebekistan.

It's a free listen on the TAL website this week.

Next week, Ira takes an inside look at the writers of The Onion. Now that's an episode I'm looking forward to.
