“It could be argued that in this age of social media and quick-hit information, storytelling has become a lost art. Not so if you’re a listener of Ira Glass, the creator and host of NPR’s This American Life.” San Diego Union-Tribune
“If podcasting is to the 2020s what standup comedy was to the 1970s, Glass is podcasting’s Steve Martin, the man who showed how big it could be.” The Guardian (U.K.)
