I haven’t heard of Savage Lovecast, and am gonna check it out right now. I heard him say that TAL acknowledges the existence of sex on their Valentine’s Day program and thought it was just Glass being sarcastic. Very good info – cannot wait to hear this other side of Ira Glass.

I wonder if you’ve heard his guest stint on Savage Lovecast, where his casual use of the word “cock” and discussion of blowjobs produced some fascinating cognitive dissonance with his star identity. He also provided some great context for why TAL caveats segments by saying that a story “acknowledges the existence of sex.”
