Ira Glass On Ruth Seymour
From a piece about Ruth Seymour in today’s LA Times:
In 1996, KCRW was the first station to carry “This American Life” outside of its home base, Chicago’s WBEZ. Host Ira Glass said of Seymour, who was an early supporter of his program, “I think she has a real instinctive gut confidence as a programmer that’s rare in public broadcasting. That’s why the station is so successful.”
She even had a hand in re-naming the show, originally called “Your Radio Playhouse.”
“She was very insistent that it was a terrible title,” Glass said. “If not for Ruth, we still might have the other title.”
