The American public radio programme is finally making a debut on British radio this Sunday. But with only a limited 13-week run on Radio 4 Extra, which of the more than 500 episodes should you consider listening to after the series is over?

Episode 500: "500!"
This episode is a great place to start. To celebrate the 500th episode, Glass and other contributors to the show go through the archives and choose their favourite moments. Here you'll get a real mix, from an interview with a person who was trapped in the New Orleans Convention Center after Hurricane Katrina, to a story about teenage girls in a detention center who perform a musical number apologising for their actions in front of their parents.
