Terry has been my companion on the commute back home for 15+ years. Both Ira and Terry are an amazing pair, and represent the best of what the US has to offer. Thanks to both of you !

So in love with both of these people (Ira and Terry). Incredible speeches.

I half expected to hear: "It's this American Life, I'm Ira Glass."

You can tell Ira is a radio man the way he reads straight off the paper. Pretty bad to watch but, as Ira always is, great to listen too.

You think his "voice" is pretentious? You're either projecting because you feel intellectually inadequate, or you just don't understand that word.
