Contrast with _why:

"when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create."




This is not the same meaning of the word "taste".

The quote from _why uses "taste[s]" as a substitute for "likes / dislikes" whereas Ira Glass talks about "taste" (singular) as "the ability to appreciate greatness".


So define yourself by your ability, but don't give up until the results match your taste!
