Main_small_small Buffet of Atonement
“It ain’t good ‘till yer hungry.”  Snap Judgment host Glynn Washington brings us face to face with the the world’s most satisfying buffet.

When Ricky Megee emerges from a shallow grave in the harsh Australian outback, fate forces him to redefine “food” as he struggles for survival.


The Orange
Storyteller Joel ben Izzy recalls a conversation he had with an older gent who describes the true beauty of a piece of fruit.

Can I give this one eight stars?

Been away for a while. It was nice to come back and find new episodes of Snap Judgment (and Radiolab) had been posted in my absence! This one was a real grabber! I tuned in for the adventurous aspects promised in the blurbs about "Buried Alive" and "Lost at Sea", and boy, they didn't disappoint! But I also found "The Orange" equally gripping. Glynn's personal tales were enjoyable as always, of course. Keep it up! I'm a big fan!
