Glass and his transplanted colleagues are busy preparing a TV version of This American Life, set for a six-episode run on Showtime, premiering this fall. They’re also producing new shows for the radio, and building new offices and studio space on 27th Street, near Seventh Avenue. This American Life, which helped launch David Sedaris, Sarah Vowell, and David Rakoff, has built a cult following with its offbeat audio essays and reported pieces about everyday life—pieces Glass has referred to as “little movies for the radio.” Now his challenge is to turn those stories into little movies for TV.
