Midnight Public Radio asks the question: what if This American Life was a whole lot less serious, a good deal weirder and 100% made up? Every episode explores a different theme, as host banal coastal elite Ari Wood and his rotating crew of producers, journalists, editors, and audio freelancers uncover a comedy treasure trove of stories. Brought to you by DC sketch group the Midnight Gardeners League, in collaboration with Next Chapter Podcasts, MPR will take you from the gravy monasteries of Italy to the seedy world of underground caterpillar racing and beyond, all without one single damn pledge drive.
