Thu, 02 Sep 2010
We're #36 on Chicago Magazine's list of "Chicago's Top 40 Artistic Breakthroughs", which also includes our friend Chris Ware (interviewed in Episode 178: Superpowers, with a link to one of his comics) and our radio forefather Studs Terkel (some of whose stories you can hear in Episode 368: Who Do You Think You Are?). Plus Muddy Waters, Second City and Wilco. But no Oprah.

Please rate our iPhone app

Hello, users of the This American Life iPhone app. If you have a second, would you mind heading over to the iTunes store and giving it a rating? And if you have more than a few seconds, please write a review. App ratings tend to skew to the negative, partly because you're prompted to write reviews when you uninstall an app, and we're hoping to get a more accurate picture of how it's working. If you use the app but haven't updated to version 2, you really should. It includes cool new features like offline listening, background listening and marking episodes as heard. If you don't have the app, it's only three bucks to download. If you'd like to send direct feedback about the This American Life iPhone app, email talappfeedback@prx.org. Please include what model of iPhone/iPod Touch you have, and what iOS you're running. Thanks a lot!
