Most weeks, the podcast of the program is the most popular podcast in America.

The creator of the public radio show This American Life talks about his program and how it's put together: what makes a compelling story, where they find the amazing stories for their show, how he and his staff are trying to push broadcast journalism to do things it doesn't usually do. As part of this, Glass mixes stories from the show, live onstage, combining his narration with pre-taped quotes and music, recreating the sound of the show as the audience watches. He also plays funny and memorable moments from the show, and talks about what was behind their creation.

An Afternoon with Ira Glass is presented and produced by Nancy Rebek Productions in association with KUNC Radio; the event is generously sponsored by Bhakti Chai andWhole Foods Market.
