Inspired by Douglas Kahn’s piece “Reagan Speaks for Himself” (1980), in which Kahn carefully edits together Ronald Reagan interviews to concoct a hilarious and surreal story, “Ira Glass Speaks for Himself” is a proposed long-form troll radio play in which one of radio’s most recognizable voices is mercilessly edited to tell a mind-boggling, magical realism-core, ambling non-story.
