Only episode I can think of that left me actually furious when I had finished it.

Right to Remain Silent is up there. Part 2 is about a cop who secretly records his corrupt superiors and in the end absolutely no justice is served.

I didn't even think the impression was that dead on. It wasn't bad, but probably not enough to stand up as voice only, which I guess it really needs to be if you're doing Ira Glass.

Which is strange because default Armisen is already about 60% of the way to Ira Glass.

24 Hours at the Golden Apple is the gold standard of that type. There aren't that many that work as well. '129 Cars' has some of that feeling (except the people are all of a type - buying and selling cars), and 'Notes from Camp' kind of does too (there most of the captured lives are kids).

413: Georgia Rambler is another example of that style. 6 ten minute stories, I think most are good. It's been a while since I listened to it.

I've been trying to google it and haven't had much luck. What was the episode where they interviewed a 30-some programmer that joins the army and goes through boot camp?

All I really remember about it is that the guy kept mentioning how after going through it, all he wanted to do was go out and kill someone.

This one I think: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/515/good-guys?act=4#play

That dude sure seemed like he was weird to begin with, he was super wrapped up in his identity as a modern good-guy liberal who reads slate thinkpieces but then he was also all 'GOTTA KILL THE BROWNS,' right?
