Ira Glass Tickets

I love This American Life, and Ira Glass discussing stories and story telling was just perfect.

Hugely appreciate Ira Glass' contribution to storytelling and the revitalizing of radio to a young, contemporary, hip audience. I love and never miss his weekly show, savoring the wonderful simplicity and intimacy he creates. Seeing him at Royce Hall was fun, but it wasn't particularly illuminating of anything deeper than what I get from him through his work. Understanding that he did the show to try to let us into his process, was only moderately successful. When he played segments of his shows, it came to life.

The art of the radio interview show, wonderfully presented by a humble master. Ira gave a background history of his National Public Radio show, "This American Life," and presented the details of how a story comes together and works, including the secret of revealing how people feel about the events they discuss in their interviews. For fans, it was simply sublime. For those who are not fans, I expect that they would start to become fans after this presentation. Kudos to KCRW for bringing Ira Glass to Los Angeles to tell His STORY.

I had no doubt Ira Glass would make a show explaining how an NPR radio show works, more than interesting. He sucked and us in and picked apart how he was doing it all in one swoop. The secret behind good story telling is relating to how it makes you feel and that is exactly what This American Life does. While I've never accidentally mistook a midget for a 7 year old while crawling up to her sideways as a crab, I can relate to that feeling and moment of being a jackass. If the opportunity comes to ever see this kind of show again, go. It will make you a better person.

ira glass was just as amazing as one would expect.

Love 'This American Life.' Love Ira Glass. Loved the event. Wish there wouldn't have been a 10PM event scheduled because he probably would've spent more time on the Q & A. Really great to see him in the flesh.

Thank you Ira for your dimensional humanity and ability to be present. Giving voice to our universal experience of simply being human and the often absurd, unbearable lightness of being.

Through his great format of storytelling, Ira shared ideas about how we can use narrative devices to better serve the content we are sharing.

Saw Ira Glass a few years ago at Royce Hall, and it was a top-notch show. Stories were interspersed with live performances by Jonathan Richman. He had a guest or two. It was a tight show, and very high energy. This show was sleepy-time. Just Ira at his console. Though he had some funny moments, he took forever to get out his stories - and he sometimes over-explained things. One of the lines he had in the show that got a laugh was "Public radio conquered boring - I wanted to do fun." Ironically, this show was indeed borderline boring.

Ira Glass is so endearing, intelligent, well-spoken and fascinating. He has such a gift for making the show seem like a conversation we were having at dinner, yet he spelled out how he figured out his story outline and how he finds ideas and puts shows together.

ira glass breaks down this american life and shares some of the many stories that make that show so unique and wonderful.

I prefer the radio. The show was too long and wordy. I could not follow Ira Glass and had a difficult time staying focused. The audio was great, best part of the show.
