Radio Response

            I found a Radio Show to watch off of This American Life. I watched an episode called Surrogates that was about people that could almost switch off because they were twins. Having only had a sibling that looks nothing like me, it seemed like an interesting subject.

            First off, it was weird listening to something like a radio show without being in the car. I’ve listened to NPR in the car sometimes on the way to school, but I’ve never listened to something off of my computer not driving around. It took me a little while to adjust to not seeing an image on the screen and get comfortable with getting information in this new media.

            The topic was really interesting. It started talking about a pair of twins that were co principals at a school and how they could switch off part way through tours and how they confused some of the students that were at their school. The principals confused a few of the students because they thought that it was only one man that could be in many places at the same time.

            They also brought in a pair of twins that didn’t get along and showed us that dynamic. All in all, I found it to be a very interesting topic. I now have a new appreciation and interest in talk radio.
