In this first portion of our two part interview with the famed host of This American Life, we discuss with Ira his beginnings in radio, the slow process it took to find his voice through years of doubt, the tension he had with his parents through his 20's as they tried to convince him to find more financially stable work, and the philosophy that he now brings to storytelling.

For more interviews with the voices of public radio subscribe to the Radiowaves podcast in iTunes or Stitcher.
"The only principle I was working on was I just didn't want to be bored in my job, that was literally all I cared about.  I wanted to be really actively interested. And so I would just go find stuff that was interesting to me and make stories." - Ira Glass
