I went and listened, the one that got me was actually the bus driver one. I listened to one recently called Go Ask Your Father, it contains one story of a little kid who made cassette tapes and sent him to his father who worked away and was estranged to him, they played the tapes and they are so so sad as the little boy pleads for a answer back he would leave one side plank for his dad but his dad never answered

I like to listen to that podcast, this american life, they pick really good topics, is it chris ware or someone like that who has animated it
I love this american life too! Was obsessed with it for a while. I defy you to listen to an episode called 'Remember Me' and not cry.

Oh i know that one, listened to it recently too! I like the way they follow up the story and get his dad's point of view.
The bus driver guy got me too : ( And the mother making the video for her daughter, ugh, breaks my heart. But in a good way.
