Christian Education Brochure – Fall 2010
Fall 2010 Christian Education Brochure
Resource: This American Life
Throughout the course of the summer I plan to share resources that are and continue to be helpful to me as I seek to grapple with and understand our changing times and our changing culture. (I wrote this post a few days ago, but Jan talked about this difficult work last night.)
The first resource is This American Life.
For the last 14 years This American Life has chronicled the lives of everyday Americans over public radio. Recently they started a TV series. Here’s how they describe what they do:
The radio and TV shows follow the same format. There’s a theme to each episode, and a variety of stories on that theme. It’s mostly true stories of everyday people, though not always. There’s lots more to the show, but, like we said, it’s sort of hard to describe. Probably the best way to understand the show is to start at our favorites page, though we have full guides to our TV show and our radio show, with clips. If you want to dive into the hundreds of episodes we’ve done over the years, there’s an archive of all our old radio shows and listings for all our TV episodes, too.
