IDK why i just like ira's voice XDD

[@blessingomenazu1038]

I actually love Ida's voice. Need upsessed with This American Life for a while now and when he said he was in his 50s I couldn't believe it. He has such a youthful voice. Wouldn't even know he was past the age of 30

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

...and he doesn't say like so much.

[@hansbherenow]

A wonderful exchange. One of the best interviews with Ira Glass.

[@TSquared2001]

This was a good interview.

[@pelotasdad]

great interview. thanks so much for posting.... i havenever heard anyone do so well articulating the same situations i am in when meeting people.... asking about their life, learning about them, and still feeling disconnected because i share so little about myself....

[@emilyenns8809]

Fabulous discussion!

[@downDOGMAyoga]

+Emily Agreed! Especially the part about needing conversations to be more than an exchange, rather than one person asking questions.
