  1. This was very enjoyable to watch and hear. I was unaware of his past work with the program. Found the link through Twitter and am very appreciative. Thank you! This kind of inadvertent story hijacking has happened to me as well; however, the hijacker told it so much better than I would have that I just let it be.

  2. I remember this story from the radio show. Cool to see it with Chris Ware animation. I love the round Ira Glass!

  3. Chris Ware is great. I also really enjoyed listening to This American Life everytime I was able to. But I hate that I can’t watch the other clip, because I’m located outside of the US. That sucks. When did the internet become so local?
