The Wake - Interview with Sara

"The Wake: I saw that you have a link to This American Life on your website, great radio program, how did you get into this delightful piece of Americana?

Sara: The girl I was dating for five years, she was American and she came from upstate New York. When we first started dating she always talked about her NPR addiction and all the programs she loved. One of them was This American Life and at some point I really got into it. It is absolutely one of my favorite things in the world. There are times now when people say, “If you could take one thing to a desert island, what would it be?” and I’m like, “who would I take?” and I say Ira Glass (host of the show). I just love him so much. I love the program. It’s like my goal in life to convert as many people as possible to it. I think it’s so interesting and innovative. There’s not one program on it that I’m not interested in. Every time it comes on, I love every episode." (read full interview with Sara).
