This American Life/YMMV
- Fan Wank: John Hodgman's harrowing attempt to rewrite The Phantom Menace, which he later realizes is a deep-seated attempt to Set Right What Once Went Wrong and stop the Turn of the Millennium from happening.
- Genius Bonus: Being aimed at the more intellectual set (who else listens to public radio?), these naturally abound.
- Episode 109, "Notes on Camp," may have been about Summer Camp, but the title was a reference to a a famous essay by Susan Sontag, the first known scholarly study of, well, the other kind of camp.
