Is Public Radio International still working on comedy?

Public Radio International is sort of like NPR's marginally cooler little brother. It produces and distributes shows like This American Life and The World, and operates out of Chicago.

Last year, they created a pilot for a Daily-Show-like radio program, based on news and current affairs, with a comedy angle. A lot of folks from the NY UCB Theater were involved, as I understand it. As far as everyone I know knew, it didn't "go," and that was the end of the story.

Today, though, an eagle-eyed Apiary reader spotted this listing for a comedy writer at Journalism Jobs. Is PRI getting back into the comedy business?
