It truly is the best radio show I've heard. I've been listening on and off for over 20 years. If you want some good episodes (do NOT read the summary on the linked pages - some contain spoilers). The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/352/the-ghost-of-bobby-dunbar https://www.thisamericanlife.org/352/the-ghost-of-bobby-dunb...) - about a kid in the first half of the 20th century who was abducted and then returned to his family - except to this day people debate whether the kid who was returned really was the kid who was abducted, and how his descendants have grappled with the issue. When Patents Attack! (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/441/when-patents-attack https://www.thisamericanlife.org/441/when-patents-attack) - an inside peek into how patent trolls work. Petty Tyrant (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/419/petty-tyrant https://www.thisamericanlife.org/419/petty-tyrant) - how a school maintenance employee rose to power by bullying. It's not so much the facts themselves but the masterful storytelling - especially near the end. Dr Gilmer and Mr Hyde (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/492/dr-gilmer-and-mr-hyde https://www.thisamericanlife.org/492/dr-gilmer-and-mr-hyde) - about a doctor in a small town who everyone loved. He committed a heinous crime and ended up in prison. The story involves great investigative journalism on exploring why he committed the crime, and they unearthed very relevant details that were previously unknown (even to the criminal himself). The last two episodes above were by Sarah Koenig, who you may know as the person behind Serial.
