This I Believe

The only thing I really don't like about NPR is the This I Believe feature. And it just finished! Yea. For the final essay they did a long, boring preamble story, although the last essay was actually pretty good. They got a real writer, Amy Tan, to do it, and her ghost story was interesting. Actually this is one of those the exception proves the rule cases -- usually random people do the essays and as the topic is the nebulous 'This I Believe,' how the heck do you write about that??? Anyway. It's a 14 minute story, you have been warned.

Oh. The reason Ira Glass never submitted an essay? Cause he used to believe. The TAL bit about This I Believe is pretty interesting.
