Ira Glass: Reinventing Radio

Reinventing Radio: An Evening with Ira Glass

The creator of the public radio show This American Life talks about his program 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 pre-taped quotes and music, recreating 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.

This event is a benefit for Montana Public Radio.

The performance is at 8:00pm. Doors open at 7:00pm.
At the Dennison Theater (formerly the University Theater) on the University of Montana campus in Missoula. All seats are assigned.
