We love hearing your comments on our stories. Comment emails are circulated among all the producers and taken very seriously. Email us at web@thislife.org.

If you have a question and want a speedy answer:

  • Check our FAQ for general questions about the show, streaming audio, podcasting, submissions, and pretty much everything else.
  • If you’re looking for a story or a segment, try different keywords in our search engine. If that doesn’t work, browse our archive.

If you strike out, drop a line to web@thislife.org. We try to reply to all questions that aren't answered on the website, with some exceptions. It may take a bit, but well do our best.

If you have a story idea: Check out our submissions info page, and contact us at storypitch@thislife.org. We do not accept submissions by mail.
