It's formatted like "This American Life". Not exactly "unique".

Don't get me wrong, I love "This American Life" and "A Life Well Wasted".
"This American Life" has a team of producers, editors, and contributors.
"A Life Well Wasted" only has Robert Ashley.

The word you're looking for is not "unique". It's FREAKIN AWESOME.

I really wanted that poster but at $45 I just couldn't justify it.

One of my favorite podcasts. Wish it was more regular [feces joke here]. But, it's always quality when it does hit.

If it's of the one that sold out, I'm jealous. =[

Snagged one of the posters last night as soon as we rolled into my parent's house and I could get online. About 1am. I believe they were sold out around 2-3 hours after that. Phew!

I'm getting that baby framed :)

Robert has repeatedly stated that his show is not trying to channel 'This American Life'. Rather, he tries to shoot for the style of another radio show out of NPR WNYC called 'RadioLab'. RadioLab keeps to a particular show theme - one that varies from show to show - but all within the realm of science. ALWW does the same as the theme changes, but is rooted in video games. TAL lacks the erratic editing style as heard in RadioLab. While TAL has varied themes, they dont have a central anchoring focus.

I listened to the last episode of this on my way to PAX. Goddamn that was ages ago. Great show.

I don't think it would work well in the end, but I almost wish a major site would buy this podcast, give Robert Ashley complete creative control, but the resources needed to put it out as regularly as "This American Life." It's of the same caliber, but not the same manpower. It is the best video game podcast by far (and most unique, not what you been playing then news then numbers then letters.) I just wish I could hear it more than once or twice a season.
