The Hidden World of Girls

THE KITCHEN SISTERS are producing a new NPR multimedia series exploring the hidden world of girls. Stories of coming of age, rituals and rites of passage, secret identities—of women who crossed a line, blazed a trail, changed the tide.

This American Life

This American Life is a weekly public radio show with a simple format. There is a theme to each episode and a variety of stories told about that theme. It is mostly true stories told by regular people. There are literally 100s of episodes on millions of different topics. Some are funny, some are sad, some are informational, etc. etc. I LOVE this show and HIGHLY recommend it!!!
