Ira Glass
Ira Glass’s show, This American Life, has been on the air for almost thirteen years, but it’s still considered one of the freshest and most original programs on public radio. Last year, Ira expanded his storytelling-empire with the This American Life TV series, which begins its second season on Showtime on Sunday. And on Thursday, a live version of This American Life will be broadcast in select movie theaters.
