Although I will happily enjoy downloaded TV shows without paying (in part because of the way the MPAA, MIPI et al keep trying to equate copyright violation with burglary), I have to say I feel like I owe something to Ira Glass and the excellent radio show This American Life (now available as a podcast).

And so I have responded to their current pledge drive with a donation of $50, and I hope that other fans might do the same. It really is a great show; the only podcast to which I will consistently listen to every episode in full.
