This American Life and Nauru

| 0 Comments

Following the post-gingerbread building aftermath, talking about the ease of which one can obtain a foreign passport or set up offshore banks, parakkum said: "Once you hear about Nauru, you can't stop hearing about Nauru". I had never heard of Nauru before that day, but I've heard of Nauru since then, like in Episode 253 of This American Life, "The Middle of Nowhere", also of interest in this show is a talk about a battle with MCI Worldcom about an overcharge on her phone bill, and how for 10 months she was given the runaround over the phone.
