Sam Fregoso gets to the heart of the matter in a long form interview with Ira Glass, the guy behind 'This American Life' which has been going for 30 years now.
They talk about the before times, how much Glass' approach to story telling is driven by Roland Barthes, the making of stuff, and why Glass hasn't stopped yet.

The making of stuff, I mean.
It's a very good Sunday listen, either before or after you listen to this week's edition of TAL.

Video at the top of the post is by a guy named Cole Lindbergh whom Glass interviewed in 2011 and saw a lot of himself in him. At the time, Lindbergh was an almost, but not quite yet, aged-out 'games director' at a US'ian midwestern, mid-market amusement park who constantly had to figure out ways to motivate his young charges...The video shows the games team that sold the most tickets on 'prize day' getting a prize of their own - the chance to throw their boss in the lake.
A lot of Canadian folks, including perhaps my own kids, may have forgotten that the Summer Vacation episode of the TAL (#443) had a fantasmagorical act three from former WireTap heavyweight Jonathan Goldstein.

And good news!....After being immolated in the great Gimlet/Spotify podcast war of 2023, Goldstein's Heavyweight is all set to come back on Pushkin...Allegedly.
Finally, because, despite my best effort to prevent it, the YouTube algorithm got to me again, it's....Howard Chakowicz on Montreal Smoked Meats.
