Mike Birbiglia – This American Life, “D-u-why?!”, Episode 379 (5/01/2009)

“Mike Birbiglia recalls being in a car accident with a hit and run drunk driver. In the weeks that follow, Mike’s brush with death turns into a full blown nightmare when the police report is so poorly filled out that somehow Mike winds up owing the drunk driver 12 thousand dollars…not because it’s fair, but because he can’t get anyone to listen to him.”
