Tonight on the Front Porch, we're talking books, radio, and television with Ira Glass. Public Radio listeners know him as the host of This American Life. Even though he's one of the biggest advocates for radio you'll ever meet, he's recently branched out into the world of television. We'll talk with him about the transition from one medium to the other, and his new book -- a collection of non-fiction by some of his favorite writers. It's called The New Kings of Nonfiction.

Ira Glass is giving a presentation at Plymouth State College's Silver Center for the Arts tomorrow (Saturday, 10/13) at 8 p.m. Click here for more details.
