About this Quote

This quote by Ira Glass talks to the detach between the theoretical knowledge of the success of his show and the absence of concrete evidence of it. He acknowledges that he knows that a half-million people hear his show, however in his day-to-day life, he does not experience the concrete effects of this success.
