This American Life‘s Ira Glass coming to the Kauffman Center

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts announced today that radio personality Ira Glass — creator and host of This American Life, adviser to Serial — will bring his show, Reinventing Radio: An Evening with Ira Glass, to the venue on Saturday, October 24. 

According to a release, in Reinventing Radio, Glass “talks about [This American Life] and how it’s put together: what makes a compelling story, where they find the amazing stories for their show, how he and his staff are trying to push broadcast journalism to do things it doesn’t usually do. As part of this, Glass mixes stories from the show, live onstage, combining his narration with pretaped quotes and music, re-creating the sound of the show as the audience watches. And he plays funny and memorable moments from the show, and talks about what was behind their creation.”

Tickets — $39-$69 — go on sale next Friday, June 12. More info here.
