If you don’t listen to [This American Life](http://www.thislife.org/?ref=dashhouse.com), you’re missing out. Seriously. You can [subscribe to the podcast](http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/this-american-life/id201671138?ref=dashhouse.com) for free on iTunes.

Even if you don’t listen to it, [this week’s episode](http://www.thislife.org/radio-archives/episode/402/save-the-day?ref=dashhouse.com) is worth hearing, especially if you either preach or listen to preachers. You can download the ([MP3](http://www.thislife.org/sites/all/download.php?ep=402&ref=dashhouse.com)). If you’re short on time, skip to “Act Two: I’d Like to Spank the Academy.” It starts at 42:28 in the recording.

The scene is a debate held at the University of Montevallo. The debate is funny and seemingly a success, until the devil’s advocate gets up at the end to challenge what’s happened. He has a message that every preacher should hear. They apply it to politics in the podcast, but I’m convinced it equally applies to preaching.

Have a listen. It’s worth the 16 minutes. Pass the message on: care about substance.
