#298 Submit a Snooping Story to This American Life
My sister let me know that This American Life was asking for stories about snooping. From their website:
We’re working on an upcoming show about snooping - you know, reading someone’s diary, email, etc - and we want your stories.
We want to know who snooped on whom (the story can be from the POV of the snooper or the snoop-ee), what was found out (if anything), and what happened afterward (A breakup? Something good? Nothing at all?). We’d like to hear from people who are great at snooping (detectives) and bad at it (got caught or really should’ve been caught), those who regret it, and those who don’t. Also if there’s someone who’s a serial snooper…wonderful.
Oh and this is important: You need to be willing to tell your story on the radio (we don’t have to use names).
I had submitted my blog as a story on TAL before. But this seemed like a specific idea that was right up my alley because of Mortified.
While Mortified was literally ripped straight from my diary as a 13 year old, here I would be able to tell the story in my own words today. Maybe with a sprinkling of the actual diary entries as well. The scary part of course would be talking on the radio. Scary but awesome.
