    #IraGlass: Most broadcast journalism leaves out humor, discovery, surprise -- the things that make life worth living.

    #IraGlass: When journalism leaves out humor/discovery/surprise, "It makes the world so much stupider and less interesting than it is."

    #IraGlass on the This American Life story structure: story, story, story, thought. Repeat as needed.

    #IraGlass How rare it is to see a story where you understand what it's like to be another person.

    #IraGlass ripped Andy Rooney. Then listened to chatter from audience. "He retired tonight?"

    #IraGlass tech note: He ran the whole show (music clips, sound cues) from his iPad, running Ableton. http://t.co/pwEuZEe5
