Ira Glass, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator/producer/host of This American Life, shares insights into his creative process.
This American Life is heard each week by over 5 million listeners on public radio stations and podcasts and heard every Sunday at 3 p.m. on Vermont Public.
Glass began his career as an intern at National Public Radio’s network headquarters in Washington, DC in 1978, when he was 19 years old. He put This American Life on the air in 1995. He also served as an editor for the groundbreaking podcasts Serial, S-Town and Nice White Parents.
Under Glass’s editorial direction, This American Life has won the highest honors for broadcasting and journalistic excellence, including nine Peabody awards and the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded for audio journalism. In 2021 This American Life episode ‘The Giant Pool of Money’ was inducted into the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry, the first podcast ever so honored.
