Anyway, and he said this thing where he said about the show, he said the thing that was interesting about it was the radio. He says, but what's interesting is it feels so new. And that always stuck with me, because it seemed new to me, too. It felt like, oh, this is just like a new way to do things.

Well, you know, one great thing about starting a new show is utter anonymity. Nobody really knows what to expect from you. This interviewee did not know us from Adam. Okay, well, what?

Right now, it is stretching in front of us. A perfect future yet to be fulfilled. And I feel like at this point, the sound of this American life has been around for decades, and lots of people have made their own variations on it. that I think people take it for granted and don't realize that it was new in its time.

For somebody to narrate the way that I'm narrating in the show, nobody was doing that. We had to convince program directors to run the show. Because it was a weird way to talk on the radio at the time.

I'm your emcee. I'm your emcee, Ira Glass. Okay, the idea of this show, this new little show, is stories. Some by journalists and documentary producers like myself.

All I'm picturing is, like, I think we could make this thing, and that would be interesting to do. Like, it's not, I didn't picture, like, here's where it'll be in five years or ten years or something. Like, I just thought, like, this seems like something a person could make, and I think I could make this. And honestly, like, I was scared that somebody else would get to the idea before I would.

It seems so obvious to me that you could do, like, a show with sort of emotional narrative stories. Which when I look back on it, I guess that's kind of crazy because it was so hard to do. Do you know what I mean? What was hard about it in the beginning? I mean, what was hard about it in the beginning is every single part of it was new.
