Darel Snodgrass talks with Ira Glass about his upcoming performance in Memphis, Reinventing Radio: An Evening with Ira Glass, Saturday, October 5, 2013, at the Orpheum Theatre.
The show features Glass -- radio pioneer, host, and creator of This American Life -- as he mixes live stories with pre-taped quotations and music. He will also be featuring a “best of” segment from some of the series’ funniest moments.
With a career in public radio that spans four decades, Glass’ editorial direction has lead This American Life to receive several Peabody and DuPont-Columbia awards. The show, which premiered on Chicago’s public radio station WBEZin 1995, is now heard on more than 500 public radio stations each week by over 1.7 million listeners.
