The Showtime version of the This American Life radio show is unusually macabre. Yes, you will see the cracked-out wife of a bloated former guitarist in a cemetery weep over an album of old photos. Yes, you will see a plastic tube of boar jizz plunged into a pig's vagina during a round of meat-factory insemination. Yes, you will see a stubborn farmer gored repeatedly in the loins by his cloned pet bull.
You will even be slightly offended by Ira Glass's glasses.
All in all, you'll see that This American Life has a face for radio.

I've only watched one episode On-Demand but I found it too weird and depressing to ever consider watching another. Definitely comes across better via radio.
