This American Life has won the highest honors for broadcasting and journalistic excellence. The show has spawned
The New Kings of Non-Fiction (a collection of narrative non-fiction essays edited by Ira Glass), a feature film, its own comic book, three greatest hits compilations, a paint-by-numbers set, a “radio decoder” toy and a DVD. In March 2007, the television adaptation of
