This American Life’s Ira Glass

'We do stories where we think: that seems messed up.’ Ira Glass, founder and host of the long-running radio show podcast This American Life, is a Pulitzer prize-winning interviewer but strangely not a very smooth interviewee. Now turning the tables, as he prepares to bring his new live show to the UK, Hadley Freeman interviews the man credited with starting the podcast revolution. From his comedian obsessed teenage years to becoming a father, Glass discusses fairness, his 'podcast voice' and why the actor Steve Martin has got it all wrong.
