Hot Nerd Friday: Ira Glass



Some of you may know Ira Glass as the voice of "This American Life." The rest of you are probably asking yourself, who the hell is Ira Glass? If you fall into that second category, please do yourself a favor and go to the iTunes store and subscribe to the "This American Life" podcast right freaking now.

This man has a fantastic radio voice. He doesn't sound like he's over-selling anything, you can tell he cares about the things he's telling you and he always sounds genuinely interested in the subjects he's reporting on. I look forward to this podcast every week. I love feeling like I'm learning something as well as being entertained. I also appreciate that he's not one of those radio guys where you hear and think, "He sounds kind of cute," and then you do an image search and go, "Whoa! Nevermind!" and then you're whole listening experience is tainted... Am I the only person who does that? Hmmm....

Ira Glass. Smart hottie of NPR.
