Seamus Productions and WPLN partner to present public radio personality Ira Glass, host and producer of the radio and television show This American Life, at War Memorial Auditorium. Glass's nationally syndicated radio show is distributed by Public Radio International and reaches over 1.6 million listeners weekly. In 2007 Glass began producing TV episodes of This American Life for Showtime. Ira Glass started working in public radio in 1978, when he was 19, as an intern at National Public Radio's Washington headquarters. Over the course of the next 17 years, he worked on nearly every NPR news show and did nearly every production job they had: he was a tape-cutter, desk assistant, newscast writer, editor, producer, reporter, and substitute host. He spent a year in a high school for NPR, and a year in an elementary school, filing every week or two for All Things Considered. He moved to Chicago in 1989 and put This American Life on the air in November of 1995. The performance will include excerpts from previous This American Life broadcasts as well as a time for questions from the audience.
