Ira talks about tweeting and Shakespeare.

Ira recounts a time that bleeping a swear word on Minnesota Public Radio went horribly wrong.

When we launched Serial, we learned how many people still didn’t know how to hear a podcast. Ira asked an octogenarian friend, Mary Ahearn, to help him explain it.

S-Town host and This American Life Senior Producer Brian Reed spoke about the three key elements of a good story: action, reflection, and stakes.

Our most ambitious live show ever! Nearly 50 actors, singers, dancers, musicians, and comedians onstage including Sasheer Zamata, Stephin Merritt, Mike Birbiglia, and an original mini-musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

For our “Return to the Scene of the Crime” live show, Chris Ware and John Kuramoto created this animated short, about a mouse falling in love with a cat head. Set to a song by Andrew Bird.

Ira writes: “Several people have taken a quote from that Current TV interview and made short videos with it. This one, by Daniel Sax, is inventive and beautiful.”
