Two Totally Different Points Of View

 

 

The above animation clip comes from the truly awesome radio show called This American Life.  It's the same story told from the different points of view of a man and his wife.  It's amazing how differently people will remember things sometimes. 

 

If you've never listened to This American Life before, I can't suggest it enough that you should.  It airs saturday mornings on NPR, but you can also stream a podcast of their show from their website for a week after each show airs. 

 

The show itself is about regular people and their experiences and how fascinating small things in life can be sometimes.  To quote the host Ira Glass, "Each week we take a theme and we bring you a wide variety of stories on that theme."  The themes range from things like break ups, life after death, mistakes, the audacity of government, etc.

 

They've also got a great TV version of their show that airs on Showtime.  The first season of the show is available on DVD.
