Are you a podcast listener? We recently upgraded to a "baby car," and my most favorite feature is the handsfree bluetooth audio, which enables me to listen to playlists and podcasts handsfree at my leisure. One podcast I particularly enjoy is, This American Life. If you've never tuned in, it's an everyday life kind of 'cast, featuring human interest stories, including a range of broad topics.
One of the recent topics was all about coincidences, aptly titled, "No Coincidence, No Story." In general, I tend to enjoy TAL's more "random" podcasts, and this one definitely piqued my interest. Every story of the podcast is somehow related to coincidences that listeners experienced and called in to report. These coincidences range from small seemingly insignificant things like seeing a stranger at a doctor's office and then running into them at the market minutes later...all the way to larger, life-altering, often unforeseen coincidences were the stars seemingly align, coincidentally.
It was one of the better podcasts I've heard in a while, so I thought I'd share. If you're in the need of some casual entertainment while commuting, or have an extra 45 minutes to spare, I'd recommend it.

I started listening to podcasts after Everett was born because we take long walks almost every day. I'll have to check this one out!
david and I listen to podcasts on roadtrips, and I love it! I'll put this one in our queue!
Sounds really interesting. I bookmarked to listen to later. I love hearing stories about twists of fate, makes you wonder if there is such a thing.
I'm definitely going to try out those podcasts. We drive to our family lake house six hours away a few times over the summer and this would really help the time fly!
I've heard such good things about This American Life, but have yet to tune in!
yes! thanks for the heads up
