Dive deep for the great stuff
Many of the older episodes are fantastic, moving, thoughtful and touching. But over the past few years the new episodes have gotten extremely political (and often an echo chamber, with little to no diversity in political ideology). Plus there are frequent reruns. If you are looking for a great show, scroll back a few years.

Please...
Label repeat content in the notes! By which I mean: You can’t have a clip show & call it a whole new episode. Pretty please with sugar...call a repeat a repeat or a listen again or a listener favorite. Etc. ☺️

What dreams may come...
There’s nothing better than being entertained by a good story. I often find myself responding out loud to some stories- an audible book can put me to sleep but a few stories from This American Life can keep me alert and driving for hours...except rn this pandemic has limited long hours of driving; nevertheless, I stay entertained and my cup overflowethhhh!

Reruns are too frequent.
This show has 25 years of content but they tend to replay full episodes less than a year old. I understand that 25 years might leave you starved for ideas or your ideas have reached a production level too expensive for weekly content but please mix in some older segments on the rerun filler episodes please.

Strong political bias
Some of the content of the show is fabulous! But I really wish political bias was not heavily indoctrinated into the podcast, it makes it hard to listen to at times.

Too Many Reruns
Very few new stories these days, and often do not state that openly in the show notes or episode title. Very frustrating for us long-time listeners.

Show of Delights is the BEST episode ever!
I’ve been a fan of TAL for years, but never have I been as inspired and yes, delighted by an episode as “The Show of Delights”. Truly a masterpiece of podcasting. I think it may have changed my life forever. Thank you!

Would be great except politics
Such a well done show...except everything comes back to far left Marxist propaganda. But hey, NPR is funded by Bill Gates, what else can you expect?

Where are the archives?
This would be a 4-5 star review but as I am working my way through This American Life episodes from the first to the latest and I can’t find any before 2020 my disappointment is reflects in the grudging 3. BTW download via mobile isn’t viable in much of regional Australia. All the Best. Digby
