I have notoriously shallow entertainment preferences, but there is something about the quality and sincerity of the team that sucked me in from the first time I accidentally listened. I really like this author's angle as it's one I never thought of. New TAL podcasts make my Mondays at work bearable!

The honest human stories combined with suspenseful ambient soundtracks have drawn me in time after time. When I listen or watch the broadcasts, I forget that I really do not care about the pig industry or cryogenics as every piece of the stories enfolds and I am slowly trapped in its web. Sometimes, my wife and I will make up popcorn and snuggle on the couch as if we were watching a movie, but this time we are listening to TAL story. A story that is so much more interesting than any scripted movie. From the first moment that I came across a broadcast while traveling from Kentucky to New Jersey, I was hooked.
