This week, we revisit Alec\\u2019s interviews with two great American storytellers, Ira Glass and Alex Gibney.\\xa0 Ira Glass has been the host and creative force of WBEZ\\u2019s This American Life since 1995. The public radio personality revolutionized nonfiction storytelling by using a voice that\'s personable, modest, and emotionally engaged. Alec sat down with Ira Glass in 2014 to compare notes on interviewing, the afterlife, and finding one\\u2019s vocal style.\\xa0 Alex Gibney is one of the most respected and prolific documentary filmmakers in history. His stories feature strong characters and propulsive narratives that often expose malfeasance or incompetency.
