I don’t tend to focus on obituaries or profiles of individuals (especially those from New York, because Tumblr is over-saturated with content from that particular city) but the latest episode of This American Life is a stunningly honest, funny and perfect portrait of David Rakoff, a long-time contributor and refreshingly open individual. There are so many quote-worthy lines within that it’s impossible to capture it without listening to the whole thing - you can do that here.
