ABC Radio National picks up This American Life
The ABC is to air This American Life, one of the world’s most popular podcasts.
It will be the first time the show has been broadcast in Australia.
This American Life will air on ABC Radio National on Sundays at 7pm .
Each episode of the show is themed around a particular topic and told through ordinary people’s voices. The GFC episode Giant Pool Of Money won several awards.
This American Life is great radio. I was listening to Giant Pool Of Money just yesterday. Good move by the ABC.
Sundays at 7pm? I think I’ll be sticking to the Podcast. Heartily recommend this weeks latest update which is, like Giant Pool of Money, a co-production with Planet Money describing the virtual nature of Money.
As for “the OC”…who cares what hipsters think
Best radio show ever produced.
Fantastic move.
I have been listening to This American Life for the past 4 years and LOVE it. I eagerly await the podcast to be downloaded each week and listen to it that night. It will be fantastic to hear it on ABC
Great news. They should pick up Radio Lab, too.
I must say I absolutely adored Nell Schofield’s Story Of Pop. Rather excited to hear of its return to Radio National.
Great move by the ABC, will hopefully introduce many others to this great show
Great.
Can’t wait to have more American rubbish blasted to us. When will our broadcasters, the public one included, spend more time on local programming and content instead of foreign content?
I want to listen but our ABC NEWS is in timing conflict.
We are all not hip to podcast…sorry… and while we listen to podcast we are missing some other show which is again a Must Listen to! Sunday night would be great if this gem was moved to 7.30. Selfish I know but you asked for my comments!
Great choices and big thanks.
Life would be dull without my Radio National!
