The New York Public Library has had its share of interesting talks with authors, but we can safely say that none of them were as funny as the meeting between This American Life host, Ira Glass, and Israeli author Etgar Keret. No related posts.

... I was that enthralled by This American Life's recently repeated episode featuring Hell House . As Ira Glass explains about ten minutes into the episode: In 1999, documentary filmmaker George Ratliff read about a church in Cedar Hill, Texas, which is a suburb of Dallas, that was staging a re-creation of the Columbine Massacre. That church, Trinity Church, was putting on a haunted house, called...

... Ruh-Roh!” is written by Planet Money's David Kestenbaum, it's preternaturally geeky Ira Glass who goes on tape to tell Harriet’s tale: When Harriet’s mom found a tumor on her beloved, she claims that pet insurance helped give her the green light to undertake the expensive treatments to follow. In the end, VPI paid about $800. Kristen and her husband...$1,900. Despite the...
Yesterday I had the great fortune to listen to This American Life with Ira Glass. The show, Someone Else’s Money, was absolutely the best description of how America got into this health care mess I have ever heard. I’m not talking about pointing fingers at politicians, I’m talking about historical evidence. There is, surprisingly, a pretty [...]

Some of the questions put to me tonight by the students at the UCSC... What do I do when she tells me to pull out before I cum, but I already did a minute ago? My girlfriend wants to fuck me from behind with a Feeldoe , but it hurts. What do I do? What is Ira Glass like in person? What is the clitoris? What are your views on the "gay marriage" movement? Is it an assimilation into...
... across recently that may also pique your interest: This American Life: US Healthcare Series. Ira Glass and crew again provide entertaining and informative coverage about the current brouhaha surrounding the healthcare “debate” (aka screaming and shouting) in America. I found Part 2 more interesting than Part 1 … partly because of a discussion related to a hedgehog that is receiving antipsychotic...

... mind it when I missed breakfast with them. Why did I miss breakfast? I was being interviewed by Ira Glass from NPR. For some reason, this little ol’ blog got the attention of the producer from This American L ife , the show that Ira hosts. They are doing a series on health care costs being out of control, and read the post I did in January about the insanity of medical codes. She felt that...
