This American Life Celebrates Its 500th Episode

Posted on July 13, 2013 at 3:01 pm

I love “This American Life.”  For 17 years, Ira Glass has been sharing our stories, funny, wrenching, scary, romantic, always engaging and illuminating.  He tells Buzzfeed how he feels 500 episodes later.  Definitely worth a look, especially at the list of his favorite episodes and the memo with some of the other titles for the show that they considered and rejected.  And here’s a good list of some of the best episodes to get started or to find gems you might have missed.

Watch Wait Wait Live on May 2

Posted on April 28, 2013 at 2:53 pm

I love the NPR news quiz show “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me,” and listen every week.  On May 2, fans will be able to watch the show live in theaters across the country.  Tickets are available from Fathom Events.  Peter Sagal and official judge and scorekeeper Carl Kasell will be joined by panelists Paula Poundstone, Mo Rocca and Tom Bodett to play the quiz in front of a live audience. And Steve Martin will be joining the cast to answer questions and play the popular segment “Not My Job!”

P.S. Ever wonder what Carl Kassel records for the winners?  Listen here.
