Last year, This American Life, the radio show became This American Life, the premium cable show.

The program that The O.C. once described as "that show by those hipster know-it-alls who talk about how fascinating ordinary people are” might come to the silver screen:

We're planning a This American Life stage show that would be filmed and sent live — live! — via satellite to movie theaters across the country. It would include Ira performing a radio piece, never-before-seen stories and outtakes from the second season of our TV series, audience Q&A, and more.

No other public radio program has tried this before, and we're very excited about it. But to make it happen, we need to know if you're interested. We'd also like your input on how to craft the event. Please take this short survey; it'll take about two minutes. Thanks!

We’d like to mock thier insecurity, but we love This American Life to the point that even its trepidation appeals to us. We approve of Ira Glass in any form.
