About
Bio
This American Life is a national radio program focused on American literature and documentaries. The host often presents stories about people who have a unique perspective. The program is produced by Chicago Public Media, and distributed independently. A different theme is chosen each week and writers and performers are invited on the show to contribute to the theme. Their mission is to "document everyday life in this country." When putting the show together, the staff is looking for stories that they "truly love." The program debuted in November 1995 and in 2007 WBEZ-FM won a Peabody Award for an episode of This American Life.
This American Life appeals to listeners interested in American literature, documentaries, storytelling and art. There are no specific deadlines or lead times for the program. The program does not accept press releases or submissions sent via mail.
In the same spirit of the radio show, there has been a televised version of This American Life seen on Showtime. The TV show premiered Thursday, March 22, 2007. The host and a small team of radio producers and filmmakers spent six months on the road traveling the country documenting true stories that are dramatic, emotional and often funny.
PR Professionals should note each episode is themed and stories should follow the themes. Each story is created to resemble the drama and personal interaction of a film, via the radio. Pitches should not exceed two pages and sent via email. They do not accept snail mail.
As of July 1, 2014, PRI no longer distributes the program.
The show offers a digital Podcast and a digital iPad application.
