“This American Life” Update
Ira Glass visited Penn State a few weeks ago and recorded a “This American Life” episode. The episode (titled ‘#1 Party School’) is airing next Sunday (12/13) at 6:00 pm. Sunday, December 20th at 6:00 pm.
This was a description of the episode from a recent This American Life email update:
What is it like to be at the country’s top party school? This American Life producers spent a recent football weekend at Penn State to figure this out. There, we learned the definition of “fracket” (think frat plus jacket); the best way to clean up beer cans after a big party (snow shovel); and how hard it is to get college kids to drink less (really hard).
Should be an interesting show.
