Inside David Sedaris’s Paris: An Audio Tour

On this weekend’s broadcast of This American Life, host Ira Glass visits writer and radio commentator David Sedaris in Paris. I caught part of the show in my car yesterday and Sedaris, who has been living in the City of Light for several years, gives Glass a tour of his favorite Paris spots which include, among other places, his local hardware store. The 10 minutes I heard were typical Sedaris—insightful, neurotic and funny. This American Life doesn’t stream audio from its Web site during the weekend the show is being broadcast around the country, but you can still catch it later tonight on individual stations. Find a station here or try KPCC at 7 p.m. PT Sunday night. Update: It can now be heard at This American Life’s Web site.
