KPCC Presents
Ira Glass & Jad Abumrad: An Evening with the Creators of This American Life & Radiolab
Rescheduled from 07/23/22
6PM Doors | 7PM Show
Want to sound smart at dinner parties? Impress your friends and family with interesting facts and intriguing stories? Any episode of This American Life or Radiolab would be a great place to start. Both shows take deep dives into science-based stories, focusing on the human details behind them and leave listeners enlightened, uplifted, and a little smarter than when they started.
On Dec 10, Ira Glass (he/him), host of This American Life, and Jad Abumrad (he/him), creator of Radiolab, come together to take you on a journey of insight, investigation, and humanity in a way that only they can. Join us for a night with these public radio luminaries, in conversation live onstage at the historic Theatre at Ace Hotel. It’s all part of KPCC’s Public Radio Palooza—you knew we couldn’t possibly throw a public radio party without inviting these two.
This event is part of KPCC’s Public Radio Palooza, a year-long celebration of all the ways public radio brings us together, featuring some of the most legendary and innovative creators in the public media landscape.

Before the show, catch up on some of the best Radiolab and This American Life episodes:
From This American Life
“When I’m trying to explain our program to someone who doesn’t know it, I stammer a bunch of words like ‘entertaining,’ ‘funny,’ ‘surprising plot twists,’ ‘true stories but not boring I swear’ … and then I just give them this list.” — Ira Glass
