“This American Life” heads to some of the happiest places on Earth: amusement parks. Ira Glass takes us behind the scenes at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Mo., where the young staff members — coached by a funny, fun-loving boss just a little older than they are — truly seem to love their jobs.
This is a rerun of an episode that first aired in August 2011.
