Alex Blumberg on Storytelling, Journalism, and The Future of Podcasting

For over 15 years Alex Blumberg was a producer at This American Life where he earned acclaim for his timely investigative pieces like The Giant Pool of Money, and When Patents Attack. But recently he's found himself in a decidedly new role, as the CEO of a startup podcasting company called Gimlet media.

A special interview in two parts - both pre and post setting off to found his own company - with radio producer extraordinaire, Alex Blumberg. We talk his beginnings in journalism, his early days as an elementary school teacher in Chicago, coming to This American Life, and how his life has changed since leaving the fold of public radio.
