My older sister recommended this TV program on Netflix. I watched a couple episodes and I'm hooked. It's a series of mini-documentaries that airs on Showtime based on the NPR radio program. They have the entire library of radio shows archived online to listen for free, and they do podcasts too. The TV version is on Itunes and Netflix instant-watch. They talk about random stories that are thought-provoking, funny, entertaining and just downright interesting. Some are about politics or current events but the majority are just everyday people with an interesting story to tell. I've been listening to the older episodes on the drive to school in the morning.

You just click on the year and choose an episode, then click to stream the episode. They are approx. 1hr long.
I just finished #402 which I thought was particularly interesting about a guy who turned vigilante and went to Mexico to rescue a girl who had been kidnapped .
