I thought the host seemed to have an agenda when talking about his friend's improv group -- which was not very professional -- but Ira Glass did a good job of putting him in his place. This was my first time listening to this show -- I just found the Podcast -- and there are some very good guests. However, I will not listen to this show regularly because the host is rather annoying.

I think a good job was done
