Wonderful show! Only one thing…
TAL is the first show I started listening to regularly, back in 2010. The reporting is reliable, relatable, and has brought awareness to me regarding cultures, beliefs, and ideas which is priceless. Over the years I have recommended it to friends and family and look forward to each new episode. My only complaint is that the show notes don’t indicate that the show is a re-run. Reading the title/content it may seem familiar, but until it’s (incredibly briefly and not always right away) mentioned in the episode itself, I feel like I’ve wasted my time. Could the show notes please indicate if a story is re-run, or updated from its last air date? Other than that—🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!

What makes this show so incredible is not just Ira's masterful construction and editing but the incredible contributors, producers, editors who have followed his lead and have recreated the audio form of storytelling. We don't need no stinking pictures.Read full review »

This is just a terrific show! My first Saturday appointments start at 1:15 so I can finish listening to the 12 noon-1pm broadcast of TAL on KQED 88.5! Ira Serkes, who always enjoys listening to Ira Glass (Perhaps we'll have an Ira-Fest one day!) Berkeley CA USARead full review »
