Do you listen to the weekly podcast This American Life?
If you don't, you should. It is the best story-telling in the world. If you are a preacher, it will help you to understand the craft of language, and how to structure intrigue. If you are a person with the love of a good story, you will appreciate the well-told yarns.
Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone wants to come along with me to see 'Reinventing Radio: An Evening with Ira Glass' (the host of TAL) at Sydney Town Hall on January 11. Sarah has given her blessing for me to go out without her, so I'm after some company.
First show sold out in two days, and tickets on sale tomorrow for the second show (8:30-11:00pm).
And whilst I'm at it, I need to say again that I have no idea why ABC local radio hasn't started a local version of the program. With the long distances Australians travel, I am certain this would soon become the most popular podcast in the country. Someone needs to make this happen. The Conversation Hour with Richard Fidler is a start, but this is the next step between the story-telling of Conversations and the production value of PM with Mark Colvin.
Hey Izaac. I am interested! I was actually in some discussion with others about going to the first show, but I was too slow sorting myself out on that one, so I will see if they got tickets or not to that one and whether they might be interested also (Guan and Jo Mason, whom you probably know from college). I don't know if it would be deemed appropriate if it's just us ...
ReplyDeleteHi Ali, I have posted to you on FB, but Guan is going to organise the tickets!
