This American Life: Stories of Hope & Fear by Ami Kealoha

This American Life (TAL), the weekly public radio show of funny/poignant real-life stores (soon to be a Showtime series), has a new two-disc collection of episodes out called Stories of Hope & Fear and CH has a copy to give away. The third CD produced by the cultish program includes stories from TAL veteran and writer David Sedaris, "The Daily Show" correspondent John Hodgeman and music from the likes of Thurston Moore, Blonde Redhead and RZA. For fans of the series or those looking for an introduction, the release makes a great soundtrack for a long drive—like to the relatives for Thanksgiving.

Get a copy from Amazon or answer the following question correctly to win. We'll chose a winner at random from all correct entries submitted before Midnight EST on 22 Novemer 2006.

What title does TAL producer Jonathan Goldstein give his made-up bio in the piece where he and fellow producer Starlee Kine do stand up karaoke?

His voice is the most prominent...

Tallulah Rendall
Currently making quite a murmur on the London music scene is Tallulah Rendall. This singer-songwriter has been quietly honing her craft over the past few years, playing the odd festival here and there, but it wasn't until she was invited by the legendary Shirley Bassey to sing at her 70th birthday party last year that things really started to take off. Last week Tallulah...
