I’m cheating on Ira.
So, you already listen to This American Life, but now you’re all: “Okay, I love Ira Glass so much that I want him more than once a week.” You’re at a crossroads. Do you look for love in someone else’s sultry radio voice, or do you live with the weekly hour of pleasure you already receive? A tough one, I know.
I’ll tell you what I did.
I looked around.
First, in secret. God forbid Ira hear that I had been looking for love in other podcasts! But then, I met him. Enter: Jonathan Goldstein. We were already acquaintances from the work he had done with This American Life, but to this depth, we were not introduced. Jonathan’s CBC podcast WireTap has boosted my love life to a whopping new 1.5 hours a week, plus all the extra archived episodes I have to catch up on.. I’ve even come home on my lunch break just to listen if I so desire!
This week’s episode, Girls Gone Wild, made me smile uncontrollably to the point of awkward passenger stares on the city bus this morning.
I think I know what you’ll be doing tonight ;)
