"Lost in America" on This American Life

Thanks to Lesley Bates, a former co-worker, and good friend of Steph, I just finished listening to a nice edition of This American Life. The topic deals with people and things lost in America. Doesn't sound particularly compelling but give it a chance. It is an enjoyable listen.

The opening seven minutes are interesting, but then skip ahead to the third and final piece on the show (which begins at minute 42:00 of the 59:00 minute show). It follows a fella named Davey Rothbart, who reads from letters, notes, scraps of paper and school papers which have been lost by their original owners. He collects and publishes things like this in his magazine, Found. Steph, isn't this the magazine that Karyn Clark raves about?
