Thirty years. Over 850 episodes. Nine Peabodys. One Pulitzer. And yet somehow, three decades in, This American Life (and its co-founder, Ira Glass) remains as innovative and timely as ever. We begin with a week in the life of Ira: a typical Monday at This American Life (5:00), the rigorous notes process (7:00), and how the team selects the stories it wants to tell that Sunday (12:00). Then, we unpack Trump’s ongoing threats to slash government funding for public media (15:00), Glass’ formative days as a teenage intern at NPR (20:00), and the radio mentors who shaped his ideas around narrative (30:00). On the back-half, we discuss how his taste and talent eventually converged (42:00), what makes a good interview (45:00), the guest he most identifies with (1:02:00), the episode he’s most proud of (1:10:00), how he thinks about legacy (1:15:00) and, naturally, the future of This American Life (1:20:00). We’re now on YouTube! Drop us a line at mail@talkeasypod.com. Learn more at talkeasypod.com.
