Molly and Jamie sit down with Wisconsin author Christine Wenc to discuss her smash-hit novel Funny Because It's True, detailing the rise of The Onion, an irreverent newspaper started by a group of UW Madison students that became a cornerstone of modern satire.
Christine’s reading list:
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
The Freaks Came Out to Write by Tricia Romano (colloquially known as ‘The Oral History of the Village Voice’ - we recommend listening instead of reading this one!)
