Today, a piece I wrote and recorded on "I'm not here to make friends" and the ensuing supercuts will premiere on This American Life. I'm excited! It was really weird to write for radio (and certainly my editors Nancy Updike and Jane Feltes, as well as TAL mastermind Ira Glass, helped me streamline what is usually read into what can be heard). It was also weird to write about these videos, period, since I felt like they were self-explanatory. Initially the task seemed kind of like dissecting an autopsy, but in the end, I think it was worthwhile to verbalize what previously went without saying. I'll link to the podcast in this post once it's up on Monday.
I'm reposting these videos for the ease of TAL listeners (since they're otherwise scattered about this blog, which isn't too easy to navigate anyway). I'll probably keep this post on top for a few days, so if this blog looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, scroll down a post to find out how wrong you are. I know you know to do this. I know you aren't stupid. I just don't feel like answering any obvious questions just in case, that's all. That's for my ease.
Update: The podcast is up. Download it here.
What a lot of love you've written into this remembrance of your abuelita . . . how wonderful to have had her as a central character in your life for so long! I wish everyone had an abuelita like yours . . .

What a beautiful, touching piece in remembrance of your beloved Grandmother. She must be very pleased, as her spirit smiles upon her lovely granddaughter.

That was beautiful and made me use up at least 4 tissues. Your Grandma would be so proud of you, obviously the seeds she planted have flourished.
