Candid & Absorbing Journalism
This American Life tackles big topics like immigration or political scandals by examining microscopic parts of it. The host, Ira Glass, keeps his opinions to a minimum and really lets the listener connect the dots. I love all the journalists on this show, and how they can make 3 or 4 “interviews” (actually live on location candid discussions and deep questioning with people who will talk) feel like they’ve covered all the angles. The show also covers topics you didn’t know mattered to you, until you start listening. So good, so in depth, & so absorbing.
