I am a huge fan of NPRs show but the Showtime series is nothing short of amazing. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/
One of my favorite episodes is about Mike Phillips. He has a disease that has progressively robbed him of his ability to move or speak, yet he still has such a
zest for life. If you want to be inspired please watch.

Hey REbecca. I too love this show. The stories pull me and and hook me. It never matters what the subject even is.

I still haven't seen the television show. I only listen to the radio. I don't have cable.

This American life did a show last night on several different people all named John Smith--from a baby, to a guy who died like, at 80. All at different stages
of life--a baby, a young boy, a guy around 21 who was having trouble with drugs and getting oriented in his life, a young father 36 years old who works for
Microsoft and who has a young son but hasn't seen his own father in 30 years, a guy who was 47 or so and had a son who decided to give up his scholarships
to join the Marines, a guy who was 70 and struggling with health issues, and the oldest guy, who died. All named John Smith. So very interesting.
