Oh, Ira, Don't Do It!!

I guess I'm a bit behind on my This American Life news. According to several sources, TAL is moving from Chicago to New York because of the television series. I must admit, part of the charm of this particular radio show is that it is midwestern. I know that folks in New York have some of the same concerns and daily aggravations that we have in flyover land, but it was reassuring to know that what concerns us here also concerns them. I guess just moving it to another place won't change it, but I fear that the television show will be the death of my favorite radio show.
