The Profoundilizer (aka The Ira Glassifier) - By adding musical interludes, make the tale of your mundane existence sound as profound as an episode of This American Life.

 

Description

 

One of most popular Podcasts is This American Life, Hosted by Ira Glass. Every week they feature an hour of normal people telling their normal stories. So why is it so interesting when tales of your own life are so mundane? It's not because they tend to talk slowly (although this helps fill at an hour-long show). It's not because of their speech imediments (can you play be a regularl on NPR if you don't have a speech impediment?).

 

What makes This American Life interesting is the short musical segments they play after every banal statement.  Through the magic of music, the mundane becomes profound.

 

With The Profoundilizer, you're life will be as interesting as any This American Life.
