Goat on a Cow

Producer and gumshoe Laura Starecheski brings us along on a hunt that traverses the country, and time. The mystery to unravel? A box of old letters found on the side of the road by Erick Gordon. Git your teeth ready for a nail-bitin' chase through clues and suspects--a Manhattan middle school teacher, homesick WWII soldiers, Rte 101, an estranged wife and mother from the past, Bob and Carol, unfriendly landowners--that all revolve around, yes, a goat standing on a cow.

Was this a repeat program, or did I hear the same story on This American Life?

hi.

I'm a big fan of the show. i started listening after hearing ira glass talk about it on his show "this american life". anyway...i've been feverishly tearing through your archives. i've listened to all the shows which allow a guy to download the .mp3 version of the show, but i am unable to listen to the other archived shows which have the "listen to" link. for some reason my computer cannot figure out how to listen to these shows. is their some other page which provides all the shows in mp3 format?? are you in the middle of setting up a page such as "this american life" where i can easily listen to all your archived shows? please help...i'm an addict in need of a fix.

The other think i've noticed is that a lot of the shows i've been downloading have been chopped down from their 1 hour length to 15 minutes or so...why is the whole hour not available??

Some of the season one shows are in .ram file format which is played with software called "Real Player." However this is a relic of the internet, and no one really bothers with this proprietary format anymore. If you want to listen to them, until radiolab converts the old episodes to mp3s, you can download Real Player.
