Full episode available here.

The normal episode format was turned over to a concept inspired by the Chicago theater troupe known as the Neo-Futurists, and their signature ever-changing play called Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind in which they perform 30 plays in 60 minutes.

American Life includes a great excerpt from the Neo-Futurists that starts at about 24:46 into the episode. I can’t say that I remember all of the bits of the hour, but the format is fast and fun, and I especially enjoyed the Neo-Futurists bit.

The best-named dog in the world bit made me cackle on the bus.

I was driving around, shopping, so only caught bits and pieces. The piece by David Sedaris was well worth the price of admission. Had I been online he totally would have owed me a new keyboard.
