"I saw this amazing dance performance by Monica BillBarnes' company, and I thought - that is totally in the style of our radioshow," said host Ira Glass. "But obviously you can't have dance onthe radio. Then I realized, we have to do another cinema event! We've builtthis lineup of stories mixed with super visual things, including the dancers Isaw that night, so it's going to feel like the radio show but also totallyunlike anything we've done before.”
