Okay, This American Life-lover, this is a special package just for you........

From the This American Life Greatest Hits Collection, we're offering the 2-CD set, Stories of Hope and Fear.  From Jonathan Goldstein and Starlee Kine's standup comedy karaoke aspirations, to David Wilcox's tale of his mother's final gift to his mentally disabled sister, to Sascha Rothchild's alarming teenage diaries, and Julie Snyder's final confrontation with the phone company, this set explores our greatest hopes and worst fears.  It also contains stories by David Sedaris and more.

ALSO, a DVD of This American Life Season Two- the Emmy Award-winning second season of This American Life (the television show).  It includes bonus features such as an extended episode featuring a story never aired on TV, a commentary by Ira Glass and director Chris Wilcha, and the final hour-long episode, "John Smith," of which they're particularly proud.

The CD set and the DVD are signed by Ira Glass.

Completing this special This American Life package is an "I Love Ira Glass" T-shirt (see photo).  The shirts were printed for Ira's staff and we have been assured there were only 10 created in the whole world.  So this is surely an exclusive!

The shirt is size large (pre-shrunk), 100% organic ring spun cotton.

For those of you not familiar with TAL, let's just say the show defies description but has become one of public radio's most celebrated programs. Essentially, host Ira Glass picks a theme each week, then gives his writers and performers the freedom to weave real stories from real people around that theme.  We meet fascinating people with stories that range from heart-warming to bizarre.

This American Life airs on KUNM every Sunday at 4:00 pm.
