Live at the Linda: Ira Glass and Terry Gross
Buy your tickets now to see Terry Gross this fall.
If free mugs and CDs of Alan Chartock’s interviews with Scott Ritter no longer entice you to donate to WAMC, here’s a chance to get something special in exchange for a $100 contribution: a ticket to live evenings with two of NPR’s biggest stars—Ira Glass and Terry Gross—at “The Linda,” WAMC’s performing arts studio in downtown Albany.
Glass has been hosting This American Life (which WAMC airs Saturdays at 4 PM) since its inception in 1995 in Chicago. He will bring a version of his radio broadcast to The Linda on September 20. (He now also has a TV spinoff on Showtime.) With his nasal voice and nerd glasses and ability to synthesize literature and journalism, Glass, who has been working for NPR for 30 years, epitomizes the best of geek chic.
Terry Gross is the Barbara Walters of radio: She has interviewed hundreds of movie directors, politicians, soldiers, musicians, and authors. Or maybe Gross is more accurately the Oprah of the airwaves, for she’s highly empathetic and curious on Fresh Air, which has been broadcast nationally five days a week for one-hour since 1987. (And on WAMC Monday - Friday at 7 PM.)
An added bonus: If you buy your tickets now, you won’t feel guilty when you tune into another radio stations during the upcoming fall fund drive.
