This American Life host Ira Glass brings a night of storytelling in the style he pioneered on his hit radio show: funny stories with feelings.

His program is heard each week by over 3 million listeners and has won the highest honors in broadcasting, including three Emmys (for a TV adaptation), eight Peabody Awards and the first Pulitzer Prize ever given to a radio show or podcast. For decades, it’s been one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Glass invented a way to tell radio stories that reshaped audio storytelling and has been widely imitated.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the show or discovering his work for the first time, you’re in for an evening of funny and moving stories about people who may as well be your neighbors, your friends, or you.

Don’t miss this chance to see Ira Glass live! It’s the start of something smart, funny, and very NEPM.
