Ira Glass Comes to Penn State?

Apparently the producer and host of the public radio show This American Life was indeed on campus two Saturdays ago. On a Web site called BleacherReport.com, Penn State student Megan Klock writes that Ira Glass and his staff came to University Park to do a piece on life in a football-crazy college town.
Glass did some interviews on the Friday night before the Indiana game, according to Klock, then he strolled around town on Saturday—and if you’ve ever tried to walk along College Avenue on a home-football Saturday, you know what a Mardi-Gras-like atmosphere the town has. He also visited some tailgates, and he sat in the student section during the game.
No word yet on when the piece is scheduled to air. Check your local listings….
