  • Basically Bipolar: Laughing Maniacally Through the Dark Delirium of a Polar Winter . . . or Two

    by Rex Nelson
    At some point you’ll think, “These people are nuts,” and you’ll be right. You may find yourself suddenly glad for the little things in life, like sunlight (a big little thing) or above-zero temperatures (equally appreciable). What you might not know is that the lack of these things can drive a person nuts. Or in this case, more nuts. That’s the road five guys have chosen as they spend an isolated winter together at the summit of the Greenland ice cap. Throw in colossal special effects, a twisti... more

  • This American Life Sef (New and Expanded Edition)

    by Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo

    In some parts of the world, people throw parties when they get a visa to come to America. What awaits them in America is often not of great concern to them at that point.
