I just went to thisamericanlife.org and the site took ages to load. I thought the hits must have spiked with the tv premiere looming. And then, the page loaded and OMG, it’s all new and so...orange! I feel incredibly proud of this radio program. I’ve been listening for nearly a decade and it’s like our baby is all grown up! sniff...sniff CONGRATULATIONS to Ira and the staff and here’s to many, many more years of great storytelling.

TAL is on MySpace and Facebook too. Go on tv and you end up *everywhere*!

Indeed, congrats to Ira and crew.

Dude, it looks great!

Anybody know what the tiny white "choppity chop chop cha-pow" in the footer is referring to? (You have to highlight it to see it.) Inside joke maybe?

Easter eggs! How cute! My theory is it was a text place-holder in blank Dreamweaver templates when the page was being developed and they just left them in so you and me could have a giggle. I am a huge fan of easter eggs so if you find any more please post!
