This show takes 30-minute looks at stories culled from all over the country. Ira Glass , the show's creator, and a small team of radio producers and filmmakers spent six months on the road: traveling to Iowa pig farms, following a first-time filmmaker in California, photographing a raucous night at an Illinois hot dog stand. The result is true stories that are dramatic, emotional, and often funny. Definitely check it out Sunday nights at 10pm on Showtime.
