Summary
Today on our program we’re bringing you a three act investigation into a true Chicago legend. It’s a larger-than-life tale of murder, exile, culture shock, and the incredible power of human kindness as we ask the question: did Chicago have its own Canadian superhero in the ‘90s? The answer may surprise you. From WBEZ Chicago, it’s This American Life.

Summary
Sarah often tells interviewers that Ira's true genius is in editing, picking apart stories and putting them back together in the most compelling way possible; the part she leaves out is that he'll first indulge every single idea that you have, playing devil's advocate for every whim or tangential interest just so that you check it out. Then once you have a semblance of a story, that's when he'll tear it apart.
