After listening to this entire local show host segment, Ira Glass sent me an email stating, "You did the perfect interview with him. Hearing this made me sad we couldn't just do the same story."

Ira concludes, "It was just great. A perfect pleasure."

What you'll hear is an edited down 11-minute portion, since the broadcast original runs more than twice that in length. The interview is from an hour-long edition of WUNC's daily newsmagazine The State of Things I originated, digitally produced, and hosted back when the show was prerecorded.

​Airing on Father's Day, besides talking to a teen dad, my third and final show segment was this chat with a holiday-hating greeting card writer and father of two named Daniel Wallace.

I discovered Wallace just a few months before the rest of the world, with his successful novel Big Fish eventually becoming the basis for the Tim Burton film and a Broadway musical.
