Review of B-Side: Coping

I like B-side. It's like an amateur version of This American Life. I don't mean that in a bad way. B-side seems to attract (deliberately?) less sophisticated story-tellers, but they are no less effective. With their honest and sometimes not-as-polished stories, it's easier to connect. I think B-side is looking to put these shows up as a whole, and not piece by piece. And that's good. They are well-made and fun to hear.
