The show consists of miniature documentaries, overheard conversations, radio monologues, and a bariety of writers and performers addressing a diferent theme each week, such as immigrant parents, or people who lead double lives. What makes the show unique is the combination of journalists and artists, featured side by side, offering different perspectives on the same themes and ideas.
WFUV will examine the lives of real people with This American Life, a new, offbeat,weekly program describing and documenting contemporary American life. The series is hosted by veteran NPR reporter Ira Glass.
