Title: Tiresome narratives of the Defeated
Review: If you've failed massively in life, enjoy wallowing in it, and the best response you could muster was slack-jawed bewilderment ...AND you're willing to be unendingly chatty about it, this loser show is for you. Loser Ira Glass delights in foisting loser after loser story on listeners. The stories are slow and endless and about 70 percent of the time they're quite depressing; because that's the narrow definition of art agreed on by this show's creators and fans. This American Life is a collecting place for defeatists and failures. Has TAL-regular Jonathan Goldstein ever succeeded at anything in life? I mean... really, What a schlep. This is the most regularly miserable, downbeat crap you can listen to on NPR.
