Big Head DC has learned that the “This American Life” radio show’s staff hasn’t had phone, e-mail or Web access for the past three days. And the team, led by Ira Glass, is peeved.
“This means if you’ve sent us an email, YOUR EMAIL IS NOT GOING TO REACH US,” reports producer Julie Snyder via e-mail. “And you won’t get a bounce back message or anything.”
TAL has been completely shut down since Monday morning, but has been having this problem intermittently for the last two or three months.
“Even if the tech people can get our phones and Internet/e-mail service back online, we don’t really trust our email service anymore and until we’re guaranteed that this won’t happen anymore, everyone on our staff is switching to our personal e-mail addresses,” Snyder says.
