Item Description

Is This American Life a part of your KUNM Sunday or do you know a fan? Are you thinking that you have an idea for a radio show? This wonderful gift package includes:

A signed copy of - Radio: An Illustrated Guide This book gives you an inside look at how This American Life is made. But even better, it's a step-by-step primer on how to make a radio story. The book includes detail on where we find our stories, how to structure a story, how to do an interview, how to hold the microphone, how to edit sound, how to write a script...really everything you'd need to get started. It's 32 black-and-white pages long, with appropriately fancy color covers, and was drawn by cartoonist Jessica Abel and written by Jessica and Ira Glass.

PLUS a special 2-disc set including all the episodes from both seasons of This American Life's Emmy winning television show, plus 64 pages of full color behind-the-scenes photos, essays from Ira Glass and director Chris Wilcha, stories from dozens of members of the production team, plus other ephemera. 

PLUS a custom molded 2GB USB drive - a 3D version of the logo, where the word "THIS" is a removable cap - filled with 35 favorite episodes of the radio show, hand picked by host Ira Glass. Not enough? It also includes the entire video of our 2009 stage show that went live to movie theaters. So That's 35 HOURS of This American Life radio episodes, plus an hour and a half of video, all contained in a little 2 1/2" tall flash drive. Plug it into any computer and play them off of the drive, or copy them into your iTunes or media player. The drive can be re-used to store your data, and comes in a smart little protective metal tin (not pictured). It's a perfect gift for introducing someone to the show, or for someone who's already a fan.

AND the behind the scenes DVD!

In late 2009, the staff of This American Life went on stage to talk for the first time as a group about how the show is put together. It was captured on video, and now you can own the DVD. Get answers to burning questions like: how close to disaster was the 2008 live show? What is the connection between This American Life and Matt Damon? Will they ever do a swim suit edition of the show? Includes a rare interview with the big boss, Torey Malatia, about being made fun of at the end of every episode. Plus bonus features (including secret ones!).
