Summary

(Recorded December 2020) Since Ira Glass was Working It Out’s inaugural guest in June 2020, listeners frequently requested his return. In December of 2020, the podcast welcomed its first return guest and its first *second draft*.

Ira gives genius notes and spares no feelings. Story nerds, gather round. It’s a must listen.
