As a guy who is editing documentary style videos most everyday, I lapped up his appreciation of editors. Thanks Ira, and you are right, we rock!!

He was so nervous at the beginning! Then he hit his stride, and it was a very powerful speech and only serves to further prove his point that we all doubt ourselves from time to time.

Probably my most wanted friend on Facebook. An amazing public servant. Thx. Ira Glass & Company.

[@fakeologist1]

Amazing that the audio was feeding back - why wouldn't a journalism school have a decent sound tech?

I have Ira Glass’s autograph from 17+ years ago. He is one of my hero’s or idol’s to say the least. Love ❤️ you Ira.

I love you, Ira, and I totally thank you for Serial. Serial made me rethink what MY WHOLE WORLD could be not just what a podcast could be. Thank you for being a big part of my world.
18:34 full disclosure though, Kanye (and yeah a lot Ira too) is my religion (

[@adriennepatterson6113]

Around 30:00. I'm so glad I already brought up Kanye haha. I love you all so much!

[@adriennepatterson6113]

35:30 and this is the part people don't wanna think about but it's the anxiety that has brought us to this ugliness.
Has Ira's warriors' cunning gotten to anyone else yet??

lady on the left: put the phone down. just listen. (the whole thing is on youtube.)

[@MarioLurig]

I agree, but to clarify: It's a digital camera, not a phone. She's taking photos, not video.

Thank you for sharing this. I thoroughly enjoy Ira's work on This American Life and this was just as enjoyable. Hearing some of the stories from behind the scenes adds interesting context to the stories I listened to on the show. I am reassured that he feels it's worthwhile to continue giving conservative voices a platform despite increasing backlash against it. I am sometimes unsure if I'm mistaken for wanting to listen to them, and having him sort of ratify my view feels comforting, strangely enough. On an unrelated matter, my wife is a Columbia grad and I continue to be impressed by your institution.
