If you havenโt heard of The Onion, a satirical news publication, youโve no doubt come across the many memes and parodies inspired by its style. The Onion began with a group of scrappy Gen-Xer’s who wanted to poke fun at mainstream news. Itโs evolved into an at times biting, oftentimes comic, cultural critic. What role does humor play in making the world make sense? Author Christine Wenc, a member of The Onionโs original staff, joins Dana Taylor on the Excerpt to discuss her new book โFunny Because Itโs True,โ which is on bookshelves now. #podcasts #satire #news
