“Sidestepping sensationalism, Mr. Glass takes the best
of confessional culture and serves up narrative
epics that pinpoint the unusual in the everyday.”
—The New York Times
Ira Glass talks about how to make compelling radio, and offers as illustration a few hilarious slices of real life culled from his extraordinary Peabody and DuPont-Columbia Award-winning radio show This American Life. Broadcast weekly on National Public Radio from Chicago’s WBEZ, his brilliant experiment with “radio vérite” is a story lover’s feast. Glass, ever empathetic and enthusiastic, gives us new insights into the meaning of the modern American experience.
