Jack Hitt, Redux

More Jack Hitt! More! More!

This week, This American Life is rerunning the (this?) episode "The Middle of Nowhere" which includes Jack Hitt's fantastic piece on Nauru, as well as a really fun non-Hitt segment on battles with the phone company's billing department.

This has been one of my favorite episodes since I first heard it, but at the time of first listen, I did not know who Jack Hitt was. Coming back 'round to it this time, I was delighted to, in the words of the old saying "put two" and "two together."

The episode will be available for free download until 12/14/07, after which STREAMING!
