This American Life - 340: The Devil in Me
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:48 pm EDT, Oct 31, 2007

Stories of people trying to exorcize their inner demons.

Prologue.

Host Ira Glass talks about not being able to admit when he's wrong, as well as other traits he's not proud of, but can't seem to change. (3 minutes)

Act One. And So We Meet Again.

Sam Slaven is an Iraq War veteran who came home from the War plagued by feelings of hate and anger toward Muslims. TAL producer Lisa Pollak tells the story of the unusual action Sam took to change himself, and the Muslim students who helped him do it. (34 minutes)

Act Two. Vox Diaboli.

Sometimes the inner voice telling us to do the wrong thing actually sounds like a voice. TAL producer Nancy Updike talks to people about the voices in their heads that persuade them to go astray. (6 minutes)

Song: "Lexicon Devil," The Germs

Act Three. The Devil Wears Birkenstocks.

Some people battle inner demons, but contributor Dave Dickerson went one step further. Dave tells the story of the time he took on an actual demon in his college classroom. (10 and 1/2 minutes)

Song: "Jesus and the Devil," David Karsten Daniel

Good...
