Short Stories

I'm a huge fan of short stories but it's hard to find the format in bookstores - perhaps with a few exceptions of really famous authors like Jorge Luis Borges or Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I really don't know why this happens. The format definitely needs some marketing but it's terribly addicting. After reading the first it's very hard to stop. Like popcorn but denser. Yogurt instead of milk. I guess that this is what captivates me the most as short stories tend to cover a short period of time, one plot, one incident; but you get to know the characters as well as in novels. Anyway, the reason why I'm posting this is because I found this radio program from the 50s, NBC Short Story. There are only 25 of them and listening is not the same as reading but it's cool anyway to have access to them. And, you get a special feeling this way. Like you were listening to one of those really old radios.

I don't have a TV!

Although I do watch the news and some other tv shows online, I managed to substitute the TV for a few websites with things much more interesting than what's usually on the air. Here's the list, hope it's useful for you as well.

Note that even on the websites that have more technical classes such as Academic Earth and others, there are loads lighter talks that are really great even if you're tired and don't want to think. If you have more goodies like these leave a link on the comments, pleaseeee!
