message: In the March 17th episode of This American Life Glass said:
"OK, this is a very personal thing to say on the radio, but my wife and I separated a few years ago. And so for years now, Mary has usually been the person who I talked to last before I'd go to sleep. "
I can't find any supporting evidence of this, but obviously it's true since it's from the horses mouth. Since there is no exact date and we don't know if "separation" mean "divorce" how can we handle the "spouse" section? As recently as September 2015 Glass and Alan were looking to adopt a child according to this: http://hubmesh.com/ira-glass-and-wife-anaheed-married-since-2005-might-soon-be-adopting-a-baby.html which makes the "a few years" part odd.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:4100:5D25:AD8C:339D:6A13:915F (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

message: The article says his father and mother were both Jewish. But, no reference is provided to this effect. The only two references associated with that sentence, are to his mother's obituary. The cited obituary is silent about whether she was Jewish, or Chinese, or whatever.
During the segment of "This American Life" aired on January 12, 2013, Glass stated flatly that he was half Asian, saying that his mother was Chinese. (This was part of his rebuttal of an accusation that he was prejudiced against Asians.)
I am not arguing that the article should be edited to say that his mother was Chinese. I am requesting that someone find a source that meets Wikipedia standards, to the effect that Glass's mother was Jewish; otherwise, it seems to me that her putative religious affiliation should be removed from the article.
Yes, I understand that she (or for that matter, her ancestors) might have converted to Judaism. Whatever the case, no reference to her religion should be included in the article without a suitable source being cited. ~Publius4

message: Shouldn't something be said about it? He's been widely interviewed. Here's an article mentioning his marriage in 2005. Somebody should be bold! http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/March-2006/His-American-Life/index.php?cparticle=2&siarticle=1
