Did anyone else catch the story this morning (just a short time ago here in south FL) on NPR? Unfortuantely, I didn’t catch what show it was and just got the tail end. It was a man’s stuggle with the possibility of his father that raised him not being his father. Very touching and interesting, but I’d like to hear the entire thing. Does anyone know what show it was? I tried to find it on [NPR.com](http://NPR.com) but hit a dead end looking.

Was it [“This American Life”](http://www.thislife.org/)? I don’t know if it has been updated yet, but they usually make shows available using RealAudio.

That was This American Life. It’s very very often quite interesting.

Ah, that’s it- [NPR.org](http://NPR.org) didn’t have today’s show listed, apparently. Thanks so much! I really want to hear the whole story.
