This American Life is being developed into a TV series on Showtime. It's one thing that they are putting into a visual format, but it's another thing to be putting it on paid television!
I've seen an introductory DVD in which This American Life host, Ira Glass, explains their decision to create a television series. He showed snippets of their pilot episode and explained how much more you can get out of a story with pictures.
I have to disagree...
