That’s Not Funny is here! @mediastudied and I spent the last several years studying right-wing comedians like Joe Rogan and Greg Gutfeld so you wouldn’t have to. If you want to understand comedy’s political power today, check it out ucpress.edu/book/97805203821…

Media academics, makers, watchers, etc, I cannot recommend highly enough this interview w WGA negotiator @adamconover, breaking down terms of strike, how writers (should) get paid, the 07-08 strike, golden age TV, and capitalist excess. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
