Jim Henderson Talking to Ira Glass

/ Martin / Leave a comment

I love this short video of part of an interview of Ira Glass by Jim Henderson.  I love Ira’s honesty and willingness to open himself up, almost to the point of being vulnerable, which I can imagine will earn him some criticism from other atheists.

In case you live under a rock somewhere and don’t know who Ira is – he is the host of a highly popular programme on WBEZ public radio called ‘This American Life’ – download it as a pod on iTunes, or listen as a stream from the website – you will not be disappointed, it is really worth the time to listen to it.

Check out the rest of the interview on Jim’s YouTube channel:

What an incredible world we live in….

As detailed on the YouTube page:

17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. One incredible journey. Follow the adventure at http://kienlam.net/around-the-world and http://kienlam.net

After I quit my job last year, I packed a bag, grabbed my camera and bought a one way ticket to London. 17 countries later, I compiled this time lapse of the many amazing places I came across.

Original Music: “Places and Faces” by William Lam. Will is an extremely talented musical composer whose range is barely touched in this composition he wrote specifically for the video. He’s also my little brother. Visit http://kienlam.net to download the MP3.
