More on Nesting Threads: Renewing #5 & #6
Guido: A crazy wonderful story of renewal on the radio . . .
There was this lady flooded into her house in New Orleans. Her (Sterns & Foster) mattress kept her afloat in her house.
For eight days.
During which time she kept it together, and contemplated redecorating! She was a big fan of HGTV. She never liked those formica counters, thought about putting in marble. And hardwood floors.
You gotta hear it - it'll be up on the site pretty soon, or on WNYC-FM Sunday evening, 6p if memory serves. "This Is Not My Beautiful House" is the name of the episode.
"This American Life" last week was even more remarkable, called "After The Flood". It has nothing to do with home decorating, and everything to do with everything else that is important in life. Also streaming on the site.

I think maybe the slinks aren't hooked up on the above.
Listen to it on the site, or buy a cd of the shows for your next car trip or organizing frenzy.
I am completely hooked on This American Life. Ira Glass, are you listening?
And, in general, radio vs. TV? Don't even compare. Think of all the cooking, decorating, decluttering, and general good things you can do while listening to public radio. And no commercials that carefully and tenderly pop your brain cells one by one!
But that's just my opinion. I love my public radio.
