It might be pretentious to admit , but probably the only reason I ever go to the gym is for one peaceful hour of my day to listen to This American Life, the NPR show hosted by Ira Glass. There is nothing I would rather listen to as I struggle, out of breath, on the elliptical machine (I am not in good enough shape for the treadmill), than Ira Glass’ soothing voice telling me stories about everything from psychopaths to lovable pets.
