Description

Graphic Novel-Radio: An Illustrated Guide 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. This special copy features an authentic Ira Glass autograph on the cover!

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: What is the connection between This American Life and Matt Damon? Includes a rare interview with our boss, Torey Malatia, about being made fun of at the end of every episode.

Public Radio Temporary Tattoos-The set comes with nine temporary tattoos, including designs for All Things Considered, Fresh Air, Morning Edition, On The Media and This American Life, as well as a couple general ''Public Radio'' tattoos. WBEZ, NPR, WHYY and WNYC collaborated to produce the package, which is custom manufactured for us by Tattly. They were designed by tattoo artists Alex McWatt and Andy Perez, and illustrator Claire Keane.

'Invisible Made Visible'' This American Life Live Show DVD-On May 10 2012, we took everything we learned from putting on the 2009 live show and made it even more incredible. David Sedaris, Tig Notaro, David Rakoff, Glynn Washington, Monica Bill Barnes & Co., and OK Go. There's found photography, confetti, interactive music, a short film starring Terry Gross, and dance. Ira says it's ''one of the best things we have ever done on This American Life.''
