Ira Glass, host of NPR's 'This American Life' is one of the best story-tellers I've ever heard. He has a co-experiential compassion with the people he interviews. It's wonderful. I would just listen and have him tell stories to me all the time. Listen to some of his stuff (here).

Nerd Crush: Jared Cohen
In the Talk of the Town in the Nov. 5 New Yorker, there was an article on Jared Cohen. I fell in love. The guy has done more before 26 than I will do in my lifetime.
"Jared Cohen, who was born in 1981, joined the State Department's Policy Planning Staff as its youngest member. Having completed a degree at Stanford, won a Rhodes Scholarship, and earned a master's in international relations at Oxford, Cohen helps advise the State Department on 'counter-radicalization,' youth, and education, with a special emphasis on the Muslim world. Last week, Penguin published Cohen's book - his second - 'Children of Jihad: A Young America's Travels Among the Youth of the Middle East.'"
That's hot.
