So I had two programs set to enjoy this afternoon: this Sunday's podcast of eclectic NPR Radio Show "This American Life", and the latest subbed episode of the awesome Kyoko Suzuki/Yamada Ryosuke drama "Riso No Musuko". Though the two were about as different as you could get, a funny coincidence happened!
This week's This American Life's story was "Switched At Birth", the unnerving story of two girls who were switched at the Hospital when they were born, and how they and their mothers dealt with it when the thing came out 43 years later. (If you're interested, you can listen to it here.)
After that sad and rather poignant show, I REALLY needed something fun and zany to brighten back up my day, and of COURSE Riso No Musuko was the way to go! I immediately put that show on and settled in, but funnily enough, not even five minutes had passed before they unveiled the story of that week's episode:
EH?! HONTO KA? (Or, Rather, Are You Fo' Reals, Yo?!) It seems that (at least for today) I can't get AWAY from the subject! AHAHAHAHA
