Where he would take them if they wanted to see the city where he's lived for two years is very different. He says most people go to the Louvre because they think they should. David's never set foot inside, though he lives just a few minutes away. Host Ira Glass talks with writer David Sedaris at the Louvre in Paris.
But what's it actually like in Paris if you're an American, without rose-colored glasses? Many Americans have dreamy and romantic ideas about Paris, notions which probably trace back to the 1920s vision of Paris created by the expatriate Americans there. We speak with a teen whose family has since had to flee the state in order to access the care they needed. (2 minutes) The bill passed into law a few months ago. He explains how professors and students have been preparing. (25 minutes)Īct Three: Among the legislation introduced by DeSantis that has passed is a ban on minors receiving transition care. So she spent some time in Sarasota County, where one man - at the side of former Trump appointee Mike Flynn - is creating a sort of little parallel universe for this very thing. (33 minutes)Īct Two: DeSantis has passed law after law about what can and can’t be taught in Florida classrooms, starting as early as elementary school. And last spring, Florida Republicans introduced a bill initially proposing to ban things like critical race theory and identity politics, or students majoring in things like gender studies in Florida universities. Reporter Emmanuel Dzotsi followed how things unfolded at one of the biggest universities there, Florida State, from the bill’s introduction all the way to its passage. Producer Zoe Chace wanted to understand its appeal and its growing popularity. We speak to people who did make the move, at least in part, for DeSantis’s policies. (6 minutes)Īct One: Among the big items in DeSantis's run for president is medical freedom. Prologue: Florida is now the fastest growing state, and DeSantis says people are moving there from all over because of him. Governor Ron DeSantis is running for president on the argument that he'll do for America what he's done for Florida. It turns out he's not the only one looking for an answer to that question. He returns to the town in New Hampshire where he discovered the abandoned house as a kid and tries to find out what happened there.
Adam and his friends read the letters, saving some as clues, and never forgot. (30 minutes.)Īct Two: Adam Beckman continues his story. It seemed like the family just vanished one day, leaving salt and pepper shakers on the table, notes on the bedroom mirror, and a wallet with money still inside. The home turned out to be a perfect time capsule, containing the furniture, letters and personal effects of an entire family - abandoned for decades. (1 minute)Īct One: Adam Beckman tells the first part of his story, about how, back in the 70s, he and his friends broke into an abandoned house in the small town of Freedom, New Hampshire. I guess I just find it strange that you think the father sounds like he "has some issues" and that it "creeps you out." It came off as a really harmless and somewhat relatable story to me, a staple of This American Life.The true story of an abandoned house, discovered by a young boy in the 1970s, and the mysterious family who disappeared without a trace. Would your impression of this story be different if he really liked a white female artist and encouraged her to get into singing at a young age? Or if it was an instrument instead of rapping? I'm sure we all have music we like because our parents liked it. Feels like an extremely common parent/child interaction to me. Then one day the kid admits that they actually don't like soccer that much and the parent is disappointed but understanding. I don't feel like it's that much different than a parent who really likes a sport (let's say soccer) and their kid shows interest, so the parent gets excited over a shared interest and goes a little overboard signing them up for soccer teams and lessons. Even for the interview she was only 11 years old and looking back on the whole time (and seemed to remember the time with her dad fondly), so it's not like he forced her to do it for her whole childhood and alienated her or something. The dad maybe pushed it a little further than he should have, but realized his mistake and eventually backed off. Naturally the young girl soaked up her father's music taste like a sponge, as young children tend to do, and he thought this was an opportunity to have her learn more.
it didn't come off like that to me at all. #454 - Mr Daisy Goes to the Apple Factory.Primarily a journalistic non-fiction program, it has also featured essays, memoirs, field recordings, short fiction, and found footage.
