An Hour With Ira (Glass)

Connecticut Public Radio | By Jonathan McNicol

Published February 9, 2017 at 1:00 PM EST

Ira Glass -- host of This American Life, creator of Serial, professional dancer -- used our show as his prime example in "a principled defense of fun on public radio." And then he called the kind of failure that we aim for many days of each week "where you'll find the future."

We want to know more about all that stuff.

So he joins us this hour.
