Here are a couple of links to a great, great, radio show called "This American Life". The show has a theme then usually presents three or four stories based on that theme. These show have David Sedaris in a t least one of the stories.
I can't recommend this show high enough. I think you'll like it, even when Sedaris is not on it. Sometimes the show is funny, sometimes serious, but always interesting.
Sedaris Episodes (just a couple of my favourites).

Hope you enjoy.
