Ira Glass stocking up before watching a Tuesday night encore screening of the This American Life live show (which will air as a radio episode this weekend).

Dream movie date.
CSPAN just dug up this little gem for us. Carl Kasell makes an appearance at 1:24.
Is it cool if I spend 8 hours watching this whole thing?
Speaking of things I love coming together… Benedict Cumberbatch hearting NPR with Carl Kasell creeping in the background? Be still my beating heart!!!
I’m a geek. I’m a writer. I spent all of my time in my childhood obsessing about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who. I was alone, I was an outsider, what do you expect? I was that bullied kid at the back of the class weeping for loneliness. I don’t think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I’ll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose.
FYI: My editors in DC are currently fighting over who gets to edit Fresh Air’s Doctor Who/Sherlock/Steven Moffat piece today.
Man, I love it so much when my favorite things come together (in this case, it’s Doctor Who/Sherlock/Steven Moffat and Terry Gross/Public Radio). When Terry interviewed Peter Jackson (10 years ago… vom.) I sat right up by the radio speakers to listen.
Oh, Watson.
Two things:
1) This is what I currently look like.
2) Steven Moffat, who co-created Sherlock, is our guest today.
Can’t wait for Moff’s interview!!

Before Obama went on Fallon last night slow jamming the news, there was Carl ‘60 Cent’ Kasell And The Debt Ceiling

I think we all know who the Head Babe at NPR is, though.
Here’s the weekly @ari_shapiro portrait. He’s such good sport! Thanks A! #nprlife
I know that Ari Shapiro being a babe is, like, a thing now but it still blows my mind a little bit.
