This American Life

What it's like to be momentarily big on the small screen. 

Stories of people standing up for themselves, shaking off their fear, bracing themselves, and doing what they’ve been scared to do.

We document one day in a Chicago diner called the Golden Apple, starting at 5 a.m. and going until 5 a.m. the next morning. We hear from the waitress who has worked the graveyard shift for over two decades, the regular customers who come every day, the couples working out their problems, assorted drunks, and, of course, cops.

Stories of people struggling to follow the Ten Commandments from the book of Exodus.

Stories of very small injustices and also one very big one.
