editor's note //
Why do you love what you do?
I love This American Life. About six months ago, this funny, inspiring National Public Radio show became a weekly ritual for me. Every Saturday at noon, I cozy up to my kitchen table radio, usually with a cup of Earl Grey, and relax, my ears open to falling into another set of great stories.
Especially with topics so subjective as art or entertainment, it can be tricky — impossible even — to explain exactly why we enjoy something, why something excites our passions, or why we allow something to take up precious time in our lives.
But why do I have such devotion to a radio show — a form of entertainment, surely, for my grandmother's generation?
Sure, it must not hurt that, as a student journalist, the unique way This American Life's writers and editors craft their stories is compelling and innovative and I'm fascinated by the magic behind the curtain.
But I'm convinced my love affair doesn't just stent from my interest in media, but from a love we all share — the love of a good story.
When This American Life is good, it informs and entertains. When This American Life is great, it touches on the universal themes of life and humanity — the things that bind us all.
Glass, who started as an intern for NPR when he was 19, has become the face of some of the best American storytelling of our time. Our loves and tastes can separate us, but no matter what walk of life we come from, we all can appreciate a good yarn.
Check out Elliot Korr's interview with This American Life host Ira Glass on page 7 (and online at Kansan.com/Jayplay) for an insight into the man behind the show, and the stories.
