I've been a fan of the radio show on NPR for years... sometimes funny, sometimes touching, always entertaining... when I heard that a TV show was in the works, I had mixed feelings... its such a unique experience, its hard to image how it would translate to another medium... Since the show premiered, I've only had a chance to see the first two episodes...
It captures the radio show perfectly... in fact I believe most of the segments on the tv show, are from episodes of the radio program...
I just hope they let some of the bigger contributers to the radio, have pieces on the show... Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman, David Sedaris being three of my faves...moreless
