I chose to listen to one segment of American Life 538: Is this working? and from Radio Lab I listened to about 10 minutes of 60 words. I found multiple similarities and differences between the segments. The American Life segment spoke about rigid school systems and they featured someone with a story about their experience with a strict school system, while Radio Lab spoke about how 60 words of legal language have blurred the line between war and peace.
While listening to both videos I noticed that in This American Life that there were little sound effects, however when there were they were in the background when narrating and at the end of the interview. However in Radio Lab there was way more audio/sound effects which included audio from news broadcasts and interviews.
In terms of the interview style, Radio Lab was much more casual and was more like a discussion. While This American Life was clearly an interviewer asking questions and narrating and the interviewee answering and telling his story.
